What to do in Greece:
The Acropolis is probably Greece's number one attraction! Dominating Athens skyline, the Acropolis is made entirely of marble, with the star monument being the parthenon.
Listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, Meteora is famous for its monasteries that sit on top of towering rock formations. These monks fled here as a result of the invasion of the Turkish army.
Psarou Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Greece. Here you can dance the night away at one of the many bars and restaurants it has!
