Greece


The country that I would like to visit is Greece, I choose this country because of its history and landscapes. Since I was in school that I want to go there, I think that Greece is a very interesting country, there are so many things to see and to know, that I think it's really worth going there. Greece is located on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula.
It was one of the first areas of Europe where one of the most important civilizations took place. This country developed great things such as architecture, philosophy, art and mithology. They started the famous olympic games, also drama including comedy and tragedy, and it was the birthplace of democracy. Because of all that Greece is know as the mecca of western civilization.
Greece is part of the european union and an important percentage of Greece's incomes comes from tourism, actually it's the favourite destination of China and Austria. The most visited place is the capital city, Athens.
If I go there (I MUST go someday!) I would like to visit the acropolis
museum (it's new) that it's very modern and it is one of the most important contemporary work of architecture in Athens, visit the greek national theatre, see all in Athens, also go to visit the ruins from the ancient Sparta, and so many other things. Actually I would like to go for a whole summer and travel around with a motobike, and visit the lakes and the canyons, Greece actually has a big amount of different landscapes... someday I will do all that haha.
But the place that I'd rather go is the santorini island. Santorini is located in the cyclades island. This island is actually what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion (one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the world), and it's so pretty, what I like is the architecture of this island, has low-lying cubical houses, made of local stone and limewashed with various volcanic ashes used as colors. I find it very charming, the first time I saw this island was in a movie a
nd since then I fell in love with this place.
