Known as the cradle of Western civilization, Greece's history is written in the ruins of the Parthenon, the philosophy of Aristotle, and the epics of Homer. The modern nation, formed after gaining independence in the 19th century, is a fusion of timeless heritage and Mediterranean flair.

Historic Echoes and Mythic Landscapes

From the Oracle of Delphi to the Minoan palace of Knossos, Greece's storied past is etched into every olive grove and marble column. The Acropolis in Athens stands as a symbol of democratic foundations, while the monasteries of Meteora soar atop geological wonders, blending history with breathtaking vistas.

The Olympic Games were held for more than 1,000 years. The first games took place in 776 B.C. Participants and spectators from all over Greece took part. They were held continuously over 293 Olympiads until the Roman Emperor Theodosius I banned the Games in 393 AD, as he considered them a pagan cult.<br />
 <br />
The museum's Neoclassical building was completed in 1888. It stands on a hill about 400 meters northwest of Altis, across the bridge over the Kladeos.<br />
 <br />
In February 2012, an armed robbery was committed at the museum, during which numerous exhibits were stolen. However, the theft was solved in November 2012, and the items were recovered.<br />

<p>A beautiful day in Corfu.  Seemed everything was blue that day...the skies seemed to melt  into the water and with the exception of the high temps, the day was perfect.  Corfu is the second largest of the Ionian Islands. This island is connected to the history of Greece from the beginning of Greek mythology.</p>
