Archaeology

Stay on any of the Greek islands and you will not be far from a host of
archaeological attractions, whether they are from the Roman, Venetian, Ottoman
or Byzantine Empire.

Aegina and Poros are close enough to Athens to enable visitors to take day
trips to the Acropolis and Olympia, the original site of the Olympic Games.

Larger islands such as Rhodes and Crete boast their own ancient attractions.

The Peloponnese Peninsula has a particularly rich history and Club Pavilion
recommends clients base themselves at its self-catering Meraki Complex at
Tolon, which is a short drive from the massive archaeological site of Epidaurus
and its 14,000-seat amphitheatre.

Prices start from £249 for seven nights and £299 for 10 nights, including
all flights, transfers, accommodation and excursions.

Halkidiki in northern Greece, the birthplace of Alexander the Great, is also
close to a number of important archaeological attractions, including the
Byzantine monasteries of Mount Athos.

These can be viewed from the sea by taking a boat trip along the coast.

Kosmar has seven-night packages starting from £179 self-catering.
