Known for its plethora of ancient ruins, whitewashed villages, sunny beaches, tasty cuisine and friendly atmosphere, it is no wonder that Greece ranks among Europe's top travel destinations. But the reason that tourism exists in the first place is that it's just so beautiful here. Often, you'll find that beauty on the many scattered islands, lying like little gems in the seas surrounding the Grecian peninsula. Each one offers its own share of stunning landscapes, historic sites, nightlife scenes and cultural delights.
希臘以其眾多的歷史遺跡、被粉刷成白色的村莊、陽光燦爛的海灘、美味的烹飪和友好的氛圍而聞名遐邇，難怪它能躋身歐洲頂 級旅游目的地之列。但希臘旅游業(yè)發(fā)達的首要原因就是這里的風(fēng)景真是太美了。通常，你可以在許多分散的島嶼上發(fā)現(xiàn)希臘的美，它們就像希臘半島周圍海域中的小寶石。每一個島嶼都有著令人驚嘆的風(fēng)景、歷史遺跡、夜生活和文化樂趣。
There's a wealth of these to explore. From the Ionian islands in the west – including Kefalonia and Corfu – to the Aegean Sea, boasting Mykonos, Santorini, Kos, and Rhodes, amongst others. Then there's the pre-Hellenic Minoan culture of Crete to the south. Back on the mainland, there's scenery worthy of the gods all over the place. The monastery of Meteora, the ruins at Delphi, and then, most famously, the capital of Athens and its iconic Parthenon. Here's a look at the best places to visit in Greece:
