The “sunken city” of Old Epidaurus (Palea Epidavros) is composed of a set of buildings, between 1-2 meters of depth under the sea, about 20 meters from the coast, in a Old Epidaurus beach in the east of Peloponnese, in Greece.
The jewel of the sunken city is the Roman mansion, where there are remains of wine amphorae.
The place is free of charge and open 24 hours a day.
The Heraion of Perachora is a true gem of the ancient world.
It was built in a beautiful location, surrounded by lush nature and the sea.
The Heraion holds much more history and infrastructure than meets the eye for the casual visitor.
In this video, we explore its many ruins in detail, including many never before shown on YouTube and about which little information is readily available.
Arachova is located in the Central Greece region, at the foot of Mount Parnassus. It is located 180km from Athens and 7km from Delphi.
Arachova is a mountain village with a lot of local and foreign tourism, all year round, due to its proximity to Delphi and particularly in winter, due to its proximity to a SKI center.
We recommend that you simply stroll through… and get lost in its narrow streets and stairs…
In Franchthi Cave there is evidence of intermittent human occupation from 38000 years BC, during the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods.
It was last used in approximately 3000 BC, which would total about 35000 years of occupation.
Today, it is one of the best-studied stone age sites in southeastern Europe.
Here is additional information not included in the video:
The cave presents some of the earliest evidence of the existence of agriculture in Greece. Its first inhabitants would most likely be hunter-gatherers, with simultaneous remains from c. 11000 BCE. C. of fruits such as almonds, pistachios, carob beans and lentils. Wild oats and wild barley appear in contexts dating from 10500 BC. From 7300 BC, while from 7300 wild peas and pears appeared. None of these species are native, and two of them are native to Asia Minor, suggesting that the cultivation of legumes and nuts preceded the cultivation of cereals in Greece and even Asia Minor. The find could mean that this southern area of Argolis was the oldest known agricultural area in Greece. The obsidian elements found in the cave come from the quarries of the island of Milos, located 80 miles away by sea, which indicates that the capacity to execute these movements already existed at that time.
Likewise, and around 6000 BC. Evidence appears in the archaeological record in the cave of two species of wild wheat, such as spelt wheat and emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum).
The beach of Egremni – It is one of the most famous beaches of the island of Lefkada (Lefkada in Greek) and of Greece. Egremni means cliff in Greek. The beach is 3 km long, it is sandy and stony and there are cliffs up to 150 meters high.
Lefkada is one of the islands of the Ionian Sea, in the west of the country. It is one of the few islands throughout Greece that is connected to the continent…
The beach is 37Km southwest of the capital, Lefkada.
Tips:
* Bring drinking water, although there is a beach bar up on the cliff…
* Bring a parasol because it is sunny all day and it is dangerous to look for any kind of shade on the cliffs, due to the frequent landslides.
* Bring goggles/snorkel. The water is extremely clear and you can see the bottom and many fish…
* Respect the sea: it gets deep very quickly, there are waves and there are no lifeguards.
* Don’t leave things very close to the water, there are surprise big waves that can take your things…
* Start the return with plenty of light, because there is no electric lighting and returning to the parking lot takes time…
