Promise me, you must visit Greece at least once in your lifetime!

Greece, the country of ancient ruins, boasts sun-drenched coastlines, azure skies, and the warm Aegean Sea. It is filled with passionate music, delicious cuisine, and thrilling activities, a place brimming with vibrant culture. Must-visit attractions: ① Mystras, Laconia: This former Byzantine capital and fortified city is spread across steep hillsides, surrounded by lush olive and orange trees, and is one of the oldest cities in the world. ② Ancient Mycenae, Argolis: Perched atop a hill backed by majestic mountains, the somber and grand ruins of ancient Mycenae stand, the homeland of the legendary Greek king Agamemnon who commanded the Greeks during the Trojan War. ③ Knossos Palace: The Knossos Palace is the most famous historical site on Crete Island, located 5 kilometers south of Heraklion city. It was the magnificent capital of Minoan Crete, offering an evocative environment, with impressive ruins and entertainment activities. ④ Temple of Apollo: As the center of ancient Delphi, the Temple of Apollo on the hillside was the place where pilgrims listened to the prophecies of the god Apollo. The Sacred Way is the path leading to the central temple of Apollo in the complex. In ancient times, this path was lined with treasuries and statues, creating a magnificent spectacle.
