Delphi Archaeological Site
The ruins of Delphi are religious sites in the classical period of Greece. The ruins are located in the foothills of Parnassos, northwest of Athens. They are named after the Delphi people who lived there. Founded in the 7th century BC, it was considered the center of the world in ancient Greece, the religious center and a symbol of unity in ancient Greece. Delphi is the more important temple in all the Greek places, because this temple is dedicated to the sun god Apollo, the god of knowledge, light, music and medicine in the ancient Greek beliefs. There are also an open-air theater and a holy road in the ruins area. On both sides of the holy road, there are gift vaults, altars, monuments, colonnades, etc. built by the Greek states to worship the gods. Archaeological excavations of the Delphi site system started in 1892, and all the ancient buildings in the temple area have been cleared and a museum has been built.Greece · Phocis
Blue Caves Zakynthos
Blue Caves Zakynthosare a series of natural sea caves along the coastline and one of the island's iconic natural landscapes. Devoid of artificial embellishments, the site relies on its peculiar rock formations, crystal-clear water, and dreamy blue light to create a visual experience that feels like stepping into a fairy tale. What makes this place so fascinating is the ever-changing blue light within the caves. Sunlight enters through the cave openings near the water's surface, passes through the crystal-clear water, and reflects off the light-colored limestone seabed, creating a unique optical effect. Because water absorbs different wavelengths of light to varying degrees, red and orange light gradually fade, while blue light becomes more prominent, making the cave walls, water, and rocks appear as if they are bathed in layers of blue light. The interior landscape is equally distinctive. The light-colored rock walls, eroded by waves over the years, have formed irregular natural textures, while the arched ceilings and undulating rock surfaces cast soft shadows on the water.Greece · Elation

White Tower of Thessaloniki
The White Tower is a good place to appreciate the city of Thessaloniki. In 1826, the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II ordered the execution of all members of the Sudanese Praetorian Guards. In order to erase this bloody history, the Greeks in 1913 Whitewash the tower after occupying the city in 2010. Visitors stand here to see the port, hills and street layout. There is a Byzantine museum in the tower with audio commentary services, allowing people to obtain historical information about Greece.Greece · Thessaloniki

The ruins of Ancient Delphi are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Walk into the ruins, walk up the stone steps to the ruins, stand in front of the ruins, and look out at the mountains in the distance. This is the center of the earth.

Blue Grottoes, as the name suggests, refer to those blue caves that automatically emit blue light. However, I almost missed seeing them. The Greek sea is a beautiful, azure blue. However, you have to take a speedboat to find a deeper blue in this azure sea. There is such a place at the northernmost corner of Zakynthos Island. Turn into the cave and look down carefully through the transparent deck at the bottom of the boat. The bright blue is deeply imprinted in my mind...
