Monasteries of Meteora (Kalambaka) In the northern part of Greece, near Kalambaka, there is a unique place called Meteora. It is distinguished by its beauty and unusual history of appearance. In addition, there are several monasteries.
Under the influence of natural phenomena over the millennia were formed by huge stone pillars, the height of which - from 300 to 600 meters. Climb such rocks would not risk many of today's climbers, but that did not stop hermits to build temples there.
Attractions in Greece rightly include the monasteries of Meteora. Six of them remain active now: four men's and two women's monasteries. In the past, getting to such places was a problem. You could climb the steep cliff using a ladder or could be lifted in a basket with a winch. Now there are steps in the rock for safe ascent.

Temple of Apollo (Delphi) In the city of Delphi, as well as in other resort areas, you can see interesting sights in Greece. Here is the temple of Apollo. For its construction it was necessary to collect money from all the inhabitants of the country. Also a large sum for the project was donated by the rulers of neighboring states. The rectangular structure was decorated with many pillars. Six of them were located on the facades and fifteen were on the sides of the temple.
Many local tours include a visit to this picturesque site. Unfortunately, the Temple of Apollo has not survived to this day in its original form. Some of its parts had to be constantly restored due to collapses. During the restoration, the architects were guided by the previous plan of the building, which provided for the preservation of the shape and number of pillars.

Historians consider the palace of Knossos the center of the Minoan civilization, which in its heyday was the most developed state in the world. The palace consisted of more than 1300 rooms - it's not difficult to guess that it occupied a huge area. In its chambers, at least 12,000 people could easily be accommodated. If legends are to be believed, Knossos was at that time the property of King Minos, whom many know from the myths of the famous Labyrinth and its eternal inhabitant Minotaur.
