Being the cradle of Western civilisation means travellers have very high expectations. All kinds of tales, some real and others mythological, merge in the archaeological sites dotted around the country. Greece is a part of history and Athens its nerve centre, but far from the only one. Delphi and Olympia are also worth a visit, as are the country’s iconic islands, where the blue and white of the Greek flag are reflected on every rooftop. Every corner hides a unique story that Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Greece know how to reveal to visitors.
The Greek capital hosts one of the wonders of the world: the Acropolis, visible from all over of the city. In addition to discovering this historical site, a trip to Athens wouldn’t be complete without visiting Syntagma Square or losing yourself in the narrow streets of the Plaka neighbourhood, brimming with museums, enticing shops, traditional restaurants and Byzantine churches. Neither should you miss the Parliament or the changing of the guards of the Greek troops; experiences that you can only enjoy in Athens.
The country is home to seven archipelagos with more than 1,400 islands, several of which you can discover from Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Greece. Among the most popular are Santorini and Mykonos, where whitewashed houses contrast with the clean blue skies and crystal-clear seas of Greece.
But if you fancy experiencing the local culture, visiting the island of Hydra is the best option for soaking up mythological lore, according to which one of its caves is home to a terrible monster. Nowadays, the island is famous for its charm and hospitality, also on offer in the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Thermisia, where you can admire the beauty of Hydra island in all its splendour from dry land.
