It is no wonder that Greece is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. If you plan visiting this wonderful country, our car hire experts came up with a list with things to do in Greece:<\/p>\n<h2>Go back in time at Parthenon, Acropolis<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, Acropolis is one of the world\u2019s most popular archaeological site but back then in the Ancient times it was a temple built to honor the goddess Athena Parthenos.

The peninsula houses some 1,400 monks in 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries. The entry into Mount Athos is strictly controlled because it is an autonomous state under Greek sovereignty and only men are allowed to enter.<\/p>\n<h2>Spare some time for spiritual contemplation at Meteora<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Eastern Orthodox monks found a perfect asylum here, seeking retreat from the expanding Turkish occupation. As the name translates \u2018Suspended in the air\u2019, the monasteries are accessible only by steps cut into the rock formations. The impressive view would make the climbing to the 6 remaining unique monasteries pleasant.<\/p>\n<h2>Sail in the endless blue seas from Greece<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Greece is a sailor\u2019s paradise.
