by Surrounded by the blue Mediterranean Sea, Greece is like a shining pearl, attracting travelers from all over the world with its long history, magnificent natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. If you are eager to experience the country in just 10 days, follow me on this romantic journey through time and space.
Day 1: Arrive in Athens and see the glory of ancient civilization for the first time When you arrive in Athens, the capital of Greece, the first thing to greet you is the majestic figure of the Acropolis. This ancient temple group, after thousands of years of wind and rain, still standing, is a symbol of ancient Greek civilization. Walking among the ruins of the Parthenon Temple, you can hear the debates of ancient Greek philosophers and feel the glory of ancient art.
Day 2: Explore every corner of Athens
On your second day in Athens, dive into the heart of the city and visit the National Archaeological Museum, which houses countless treasures of ancient Greek civilization, from exquisite sculptures to ancient pottery, each of which tells a story of the past. In the afternoon, stroll through the old streets of the Plaka district and taste authentic Greek cuisine, such as Moussaka and Souvlaki, for a strong folk feeling.
Day 3: Santorini, a dreamland with blue roofs and white walls
Take a boat to Santorini, a place of love for countless people. The Blue Domed Church and the sunset over the small town of Oia are must-see spots. Standing on the edge of the cliff, watching the sunset slowly sink into the Aegean Sea, the moment of peace and beauty, enough to let people forget the troubles of the world.
Day 4: Mykonos, the romantic melody of the windmill
From Santorini, proceed to Mykonos. The island is known for its unique windmills, stunning beaches and colourful architecture. Walking around the town, you will be attracted by the scattered windmills, which seem to whisper stories of the past. Basking in the sun and swimming on Paradise Beach is the best way to enjoy an island vacation.
Days 5 to 7: Crete, explore the maze and prehistoric civilization
The next three days will take you to the island of Crete, the birthplace of Europe’s earliest civilization, the Minoan civilization. Walking through the Knossos Palace, you will be amazed by the intricate labyrinths and exquisite frescoes. In addition, Crete also has beautiful beaches and stunning natural scenery, which is a good place to relax.
Day 8: Delphi, hear the echoes of the Oracle
Head to Delphi, where the ancient Greeks went to seek oracle. The Delphi archaeological site contains the remains of the Temple of Apollo, as well as the famous Delphic Oracle Inscription. Standing here, it seems that you can hear the voice of the ancient priests reciting the oracle, and feel the mystery and solemnity.
Day 9: Mycenae and Epidaurus, echoes of ancient battlefields and miracles of healing Visit the ancient city of Mycenae, the birthplace of the Trojan War described in Homer’s Iliad. Epidaurus, on the other hand, is famous for its ancient theater and medical center. Listen to a concert or theatre performance in the Epidaurus Theatre and you will be amazed by the perfect acoustics.
Day 10: Say goodbye to Greece and leave a lasting memory
On your last day in Greece, go back to Athens and walk at the foot of the Acropolis again to reflect on your 10 days. Whether it is the glory of ancient civilization, the romance of the island or the magnificence of natural scenery, it will become an eternal memory in your heart. When night falls, take the return flight to leave this beautiful country, I believe you will be full of harvest and give up the mood, looking forward to the next reunion.
