Acropolis, Athens
(1987)
The Acropolis of Athens and its

classical spirit and civilization and form
the greatest architectural and artistic
complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity
to the world.
Archaeological Site of Aigai -
Vergina (1996)
The city of Vergina (Aigai), was
the ancient first capital of the
Kingdom of Macedonia.
The ecavators found there the Tomb of
Phillip II, Alexander the Great's Father
Archaeological Site of Delphi (1987)
The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of
Delphi, where the oracle of
Apollo spoke,
was the site of the omphalos,
the 'navel of the world'.
Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious
centre and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.
Archaeological Site of Mystras (1989)
Mystras, the 'wonder of the Morea',
was built as an amphitheatre around
the fortress erected in 1249 by the
prince of Achaia, William of
Villehardouin. Reconquered by the
Byzantines, then occupied by the
Turks and the Venetians, the city was
abandoned in 1832, leaving only the
breathtaking medieval ruins, standing
in a beautiful landscape.
Archaeological Site of
Olympia (1989)
The site of Olympia, in the 10th
century B.C., became a centre for
the worship of Zeus. In addition
to temples, there are the remains
of all the sports structures
erected for the Olympic Games,
which were held in Olympia every
four years beginning in 776 B.C.
Archaeological Site of Philippi (2016)
Founded in 356 BC by the
Macedonian King Philip II, the
city developed as a “small
Rome” with the establishment
of the Roman Empire in the
decades following the Battle of
Philippi, in 42 BCE.
Archaeological Sites of Mycenae
& Tiryns (1999)
These two cities are indissolubly
linked to the Homeric epics,
the Iliad and the Odyssey
The archaeological sites of Mycenae and Tiryns are
the two greatest cities of the Mycenaean civilization,
which dominated the eastern Mediterranean world
from the 15th to the 12th century B.C.
They played a vital role in the development of
classical Greek culture.
Delos (1990)
According to Greek mythology, Apollo was born on
this tiny island in the Cyclades archipelago.
Medieval City of Rhodes (1988)
The Knights of St John of Jerusalem
occupied Rhodes from 1309 to 1523
and set about transforming the city
into a stronghold.
With the Palace of the Grand Masters,
the Great Hospital and the Street of
the Knights, the Upper Town is one of
the most beautiful urban ensembles
of the Gothic period.
Monasteries of Daphni, Hosios Loukas
and Nea Moni of Chios (1990)
Although geographically distant
from each other, these three
monasteries belong to the same
typological series and share the
same aesthetic characteristics.
The churches are built on a cross-in-square plan with
a large dome supported by squinches defining an
octagonal space.
Old Town of Corfu (2007)
The Island of Corfu is located in a
strategic position at the entrance
of the Adriatic Sea, and has its
roots in the 8th century BC.
The three forts of the town, were used for four
centuries to defend the maritime trading
interests of the Republic of Venice against the
Ottoman Empire.
Paleochristian and Byzantine
Monuments of Thessalonika (1988)
Founded in 315 B.C., the
provincial capital and sea port
of Thessalonika was one of the
first bases for the spread of
Christianity.
Its Christian monuments from the 4th to the 15th century, they
constitute a diachronic typological series, which had considerable
influence in the Byzantine world.
Pythagoreion and Heraion of Samos
(1992)
Samos was the leading maritime and
mercantile power in the Greek world
in the 6th century BC, and this
importance is reflected in the extent
and richness of the archaeological
remains, which are largely
untouched by subsequent
development.
Sanctuary of Asklepios at
Epidaurus (1988)
Situated in the Peloponnese, the site
comprises a series of ancient
monuments spread over two terraces
and surrounded by a preserved natural
landscape. Among the monuments of
the Sanctuary is the striking Theatre of
Epidaurus, which is renowned for its
perfect architectural proportions and
exemplary acoustics.
Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae
(1986)
This famous temple to the god of
healing and the sun was built
towards the middle of the 5th
century B.C. in the lonely heights
of the Arcadian mountains.
The temple was built at the height of the
Greek civilization in the second half of the
5th century BC (420-400 BC). I
The Historic Centre
Monastery of Saint-John the Theologian
Cave of the Apocalypse
on the Island of Pátmos (1999)
The small island of Pátmos in
the Dodecanese is reputed to be
where St John the Theologian
wrote both his Gospel and the
Apocalypse. The fine monastic
complex dominates the island.
Meteora (1988)
Twenty-four of these
monasteries were built,
despite incredible
difficulties, at the time of the
great revival of the eremetic
ideal in the 15th century.
In a region of almost inaccessible
sandstone peaks, monks settled on
these 'columns of the sky' from the
11th century onwards.
Mount Athos (1988)
An Orthodox spiritual centre since
1054, Mount Athos has enjoyed an
autonomous statute since
Byzantine times. The 'Holy
Mountain', which is forbidden to
women and children, is also a
recognized artistic site.
