#islands My visit to Delos Island in Greece was like stepping back in time! 🏺⏳ This UNESCO World Heritage site is known for its ancient ruins and mythological significance, and it definitely lives up to its reputation. To get there, I took a ferry from Mykonos, which cost around €20 for a round trip. The entrance fee to the island itself was €12, a small price to pay for exploring one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. 🚤💶 Walking among the ruins of temples, statues, and mosaics, I felt like I was walking through history. Highlights included the Terrace of the Lions, with its row of stone lions that have guarded the island for centuries, and the House of Dionysus, which features a stunning mosaic of the god himself. 🦁🏛️ Climbing Mount Kynthos, the highest point on the island, provided incredible panoramic views of the surrounding sea and islands. Don’t forget to bring water and a hat, as the sun can be quite intense! Nearby, the Delos Archaeological Museum houses some of the artifacts found on the island, offering more insight into its rich history. If you're staying in Mykonos, it's easy to pair a visit to Delos with a day of exploring the beaches and nightlife back on the main island. 🏖️🌅 Delos might be uninhabited, but its ancient energy makes it feel so alive. #trip #DelosIsland #AncientGreece #GreekMythology #ArchaeologicalWonders #IslandHopping

Amazing experience! I booked an excursion to visit the Temple Of Poseidon at sunset! I was blown away by how magical watching the sunset was right from the temple! There are quite long queues to get your ticket to enter but once you do there is lots of space for people to take their photographs with the sunset backdrop! Last entry in spring is 7:15pm so ensure that you have your tickets at the ready before the but off time so that you don’t miss out! There is a bar/restaurant and also a souvenir shop at the entrance to the temple. I would 100% recommend visiting this attraction! If you can, at sunset! #Athens #Temple #templeofposeidon #Greece #Attraction #Athensattraction #Sunset #sunsetspot#History #Greekmythology #Greekgods #Travel #Adventure #Sun #capesounion #amazing #Wanderlust #historicallandmarks #familytrip #solotrip #Architecture #sea #view #views #sunsets #Holiday #Travelwithjessiee

Just returned from an awe-inspiring journey to Delphi, Greece! 🏛️🏔️ Walked in the footsteps of ancient oracles at the Temple of Apollo, marveled at the Charioteer in the Archaeological Museum, and climbed to the ancient stadium with breathtaking views. From the Tholos of Athena Pronaia to the Castalian Spring, every stone whispers tales of gods and heroes. Who knew the center of the ancient world could still captivate in the 21st century? 🇬🇷✨ #DelphicOracle #AncientWonders #GreekHistory #UNESCO #ApollosSanctuary #MountParnassus #ArchaeologicalTreasures #OracleAdventures #GreekMythology #TimelessGreece

#summerdestinations This summer, I visited the Palace of Knossos in Crete, and it was like stepping back into ancient history! Located just outside Heraklion, the entrance fee is €15 for adults, which grants you access to the legendary site believed to be Europe's oldest city. Wandering through the ruins, I was amazed by the vivid frescoes, the grand staircases, and the reconstructed throne room. The stories of King Minos and the mythical Minotaur came alive as I explored the labyrinthine corridors. The site is well-preserved and offers a fascinating glimpse into Minoan civilization. Nearby, you can visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, which houses many artifacts from Knossos, or relax at one of the charming cafes in Heraklion's old town. Knossos Palace is a must-visit for history buffs and anyone curious about ancient cultures! 🏛️🔱 #KnossosPalace #Crete #AncientHistory #MinoanCivilization #SummerInGreece #ExploreCrete #ArchaeologicalSites #GreekMythology #TravelGreece #CulturalHeritage
