Places of Ancient Interest in Greece

 

A graduate of Kaplan University and National Personal Training Institute-certified as a personal trainer, Noah Springer enjoys seeing the world via international travel. Among several other destinations, Noah Springer has visited Greece, the country considered the birthplace of democracy and Western Society as a whole.

Greece boasts a plethora of historic sites appropriate for visitors of all ages. One such ancient attraction is Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Olympia was once considered a sacred spot by followers of Zeus, and as such, the surrounding environs are practically satiated with temples as well as ruins of stadiums dating back to Olympic Games of centuries past.

Another must-see spot for visitors to Greece is the Parthenon, an internationally recognized symbol of the architectural talent and ambition of ancient Greece. With its soaring Doric columns intact, the Parthenon, originally conceived as a temple to the Goddess Athena, still has the ability to take one’s breath away more than a millennium after its construction.
