Explore Greece: Cradle of Civilization and Mediterranean Jewel

Greece, a land of sun-kissed islands and ancient ruins, beckons travelers to the southeastern shores of Europe. 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.

Thessaloniki: A Cultural Crossroads

From the rugged peaks of Mount Olympus to the tranquil waters of the Ionian Sea, Greece is a land where mythology breathes, history speaks, and the landscapes inspire awe. Join travel.frogsfolly.com as we set sail to the heart of Greece, discovering a country where every island tells a tale, every ruin has a legend, and every moment is steeped in an epic past.

<p>This unique vase is said to have been found along with a faience kantharos (cup) now in Berlin. The two objects may be imports from Egypt, probably Alexandra, the chief producer of faience during the Hellenistic period.<br />

About 300-250 BCE<br />
Said to be from a tomb at Tanagra, Boeotia<br />
