The most famous landmarks in Greece
Greece is practically an open-air museum. There are so many famous landmarks in Greece that you’d need several years' worth of holidays to see them all, but if you only have a limited time you'd be well advised to narrow them down to a few of the ones you’re passionate about. With that in mind, here’s a few useful suggestions, courtesy of Keytours.
