Often called the cradle of Western civilization, Athens was a major influence in ancient times. The city blends historical significance with modern vibrancy, offering thermal lakes, lively beachside neighborhoods, and some of the world’s oldest ruins.
Known as the birthplace of the Olympic Games, Olympia gained fame in 776 BC with the first games. Explore this renowned ancient site, which was also a sacred place for Zeus, set amidst lush greenery in a picturesque valley.
Located a day trip from Athens, the Temple of Apollo at Delphi has been rebuilt multiple times, arriving at its current historic form. Admire the remaining sandstone columns and crumbling limestone that reflect its ancient past.
While Plaka is often recommended for Greek food and nightlife, the authentic dining experience is found in the nearby Psiri neighborhood. Amidst casual bars and vintage shops, you'll discover traditional mezze-style restaurants that honor Greece’s culinary traditions.
A top tourist destination, Meteora’s striking rock formations and the floating Byzantine monasteries are a testament to both human ingenuity and natural beauty. These UNESCO World Heritage sites offer a breathtaking view of Greece’s spiritual heritage.
While Greece is famous for its island-hopping adventures, the country’s charm extends well beyond its crystal-clear waters. With Encore Australis, you’ll delve into Greek culture by exploring its captivating museums.
Located at the base of one of the western world’s most significant ancient sites, the Acropolis Museum offers a deep dive into history. As you explore its galleries and view the Acropolis through glass walls, you’ll need at least half a day to fully appreciate the museum’s extensive exhibits.
No Greek tour is complete without visiting this iconic archaeological site, home to the remnants of Agamemnon’s Royal Palace, one of the best-preserved ancient fortresses. Enjoy stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, once a major military hub of Greek civilization.
Opened in 1975, the Athens War Museum chronicles Greece’s military history and artifacts. Dedicated to those who fought for Greece’s freedom, it features four floors of exhibits that span from ancient to modern times, offering history buffs a wealth of fascinating insights.
Greek cuisine is renowned worldwide for its flavor, ranging from antipasto dips like taramasalata and tzatziki to hearty dishes of grilled meats and fresh fish. With Encore Australis, you’ll immerse yourself in Greece’s culinary traditions, savoring every meal and moment.
As one of Greece’s most iconic dishes, moussaka is a rich and satisfying blend of eggplant, ground meat, onions, and béchamel sauce. Be sure to try it multiple times during your visit, as various family recipes have been handed down through generations.
Souvlaki exemplifies top-notch street food. This simple yet flavorful dish consists of skewered meats and vegetables, with its distinctive taste coming from expert seasoning. For the most authentic experience, enjoy souvlaki from a street vendor, wrapped with condiments, salad, and crispy hot chips.
Kolokythokeftedes are small, fried balls similar to zucchini fritters with feta cheese. Typically enjoyed in the summer with a side of tzatziki, these tasty bites make a perfect starter. Follow the local custom by pairing kolokythokeftedes with a glass of wine on a sunny afternoon.
