Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Greece

As the cradle of western civilisation, travellers have high expectations. All sorts of stories, some real, some mythological, intertwine at the many archaeological sites all over the country. Greece is a part of history, and Athens is at the heart of it, but it is far from the only chapter. Delphi and Olympia are also well worth a visit, as are the country's iconic islands, where the blue and white of the Greek flag are reflected on every rooftop. Every corner hides a unique story that Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Greece knows how to reveal to visitors.

The Greek capital is home to one of the wonders of the world: the Acropolis, visible from all over the city. As well as this historic site, a trip to Athens wouldn't be complete without a visit to Syntagma Square or a stroll through the narrow streets of Plaka, which are full of museums, tempting shops, traditional restaurants and Byzantine churches. Also not to be missed are the Parliament and the changing of the guard of the Greek troops; experiences that can only be enjoyed in Athens.

The country is home to seven archipelagos with more than 1,400 islands, several of which you can discover from Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Greece. Among the most popular are Santorini and Mykonos, where whitewashed houses contrast with the clean blue skies and crystal-clear seas of Greece.

But if you want to experience the local culture, a visit to Hydra is the best way to soak up mythological tales of a terrible monster living in one of its caves. Today, the island is famous for its charm and hospitality, which are also on offer at the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Thermisia, where you can admire the beauty of Hydra in all its splendour from dry land.
