Couples will surely delight in the many things that Greece has to offer. Those who are setting foot in Greece for the first time should spend at least a few days in Athens. Not that the sites here are more magnificent than in the rest of the country, far from it actually. But Athens is, after all, the birthplace of civilization and democracy, and the remnants of the fame and brilliance of Ancient Greece still stands for all to marvel at. Visit the Acropolis where the Parthenon is an imposing site. The National Archaeological Museum is another attraction that should not be missed while in Athens. The neoclassical architecture of the building is impressive and is already worth visiting. Inside are more than 20,000 exhibits from archaeological sites all over Greece. If a brief respite from ancient history is needed, you may visit the Syntagma Square and watch the changing of the royal guards. Tourists are particularly interested in the guards because they are clad in the traditional pleated skirt called foustanela. Syntagma Square is the focal point of modern Athens so a visit to this place is a must if you miss the “real world”.

A honeymoon in Greece may also include a trip to Delphi, home of Apollo’s famous oracle, which was said to have predicted legendary events such as the Argonaut’s expedition and the Trojan War. Olympia is also quite close to Delphi so be sure not to miss it if you are through visiting Apollo’s oracle. In this birthplace of Olympic Games, you get to see the old Stadium, site of the earliest games; and Prytaneion, the area where the original Olympic flame once burned.
