Undoubtedly, the Acropolis is one of the most famous ruins in Greece. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was once at the center of the Greek world. Pericles, the father of western democracy, transformed the Acropolis into a sacred sanctuary of temples at the heart of his beloved Athens after its destruction by the Persians. The highlight of the Acropolis is the Parthenon, the ancient temple that has grown to represent Ancient Greece.\u00a0 This huge temple was constructed to hold a 40-foot statue of the goddess Athena, decorated with gold and ivory. Indeed, the Acropolis is home to the most captivating ruins in Athens.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delphi\"><\/span>Delphi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4825\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Delphi-BLOG-Greek-Ruins.png\" alt=\"Ruins of Delphi\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Considered the center of the Ancient Greek world, Delphi holds a special place in the imagination of anyone with an interest in the culture and beliefs of ancient Greece. Perched on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, the Sanctuary of Delphi was rediscovered in 1880. Over the years this vast complex of temples, treasuries, altars and amphitheatres has been uncovered to reveal one of the most enchanting ancient Greek archaeological sites. Today, the Sanctuary of Delphi is considered the second most important ruin in Greece after the Acropolis. Furthermore, visiting Delphi is a popular day trip from Athens.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Olympia\"><\/span>Olympia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Olympia-BLOG-Greek-Ruins.png\" alt=\"Ruins in Olympia\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Located on the western side of Peloponnese, in mainland Greece, Olympia was an ancient Greek sanctuary dedicated to the Greek god Zeus. The Pan-Hellenic Olympic Games were held in Olympia every four years. If you visit Olympia today you can see the remains of the ancient stadium, the Temple of Zeus and the workshop of Phidias, among other sights. Furthermore, the events held here in ancient times directly inspired the modern Olympic Games, which began again in the late 19th-century.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Knossos_Palace\"><\/span>Knossos Palace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Knossos-Crete-Blog-Greece.png\" alt=\"Knossos Palace - ruins in Greece\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>Knossos Palace is located on Crete, the largest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/blog\/best-greek-islands-to-visit-on-vacation\/\">Greek island.<\/a> The red ruins of Knossos Palace are amongst the oldest ruins in Greece. Amazingly, this archaeological site dates back 4000 years to the Minoan civilisation. Pre-dating the ancient Greeks, the Minoans were a sophisticated society, with their capital situated on the island of Crete. Knossos Palace was the Minoans finest palace and you can still admire the decorative wall art in this grand palace today. Furthermore, legend has it that Knossos was home to the mythical Minotaur labyrinth. Undoubtedly, one of the most spectacular ruins in Greece.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ancient_Corinth\"><\/span>Ancient Corinth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Corinth-BLOG-Greek-Ruins.png\" alt=\"Corinth Canal\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Corinth was once a city-state, roughly halfway between Sparta and Athens.\u00a0 It was one of the largest and most important cities in Ancient Greece. Due to its connections with the ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite, Corinth was known as the &#8216;city of love&#8217;. If you visit the ruins of Ancient Corinth, there are two separate archaeological sites to explore. One is the ancient city, home to the amazing Temple of Apollo and the huge Odeon. Secondly, Acrocorinth, located on a hill above the ancient city is home to the ruins of the Temple of Aphrodite and fortified city walls. Famously, Corinth is the locations of the Corinth Canal, a construction originally proposed in the 1st century AD!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lindos_Acropolis\"><\/span>Lindos Acropolis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Lindos-BLOG-Greek-Ruins.png\" alt=\"Lindos Acropolis - best ruins in Greece\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lindos is a village on the island of Rhodes.
