Marathon (490 BC). The temple, of which the ruins still exist, was built in 444

built with marble from the nearby quarry Agrileza (4 km north of the region).
Archaeologists are of the opinion that it is the work of the architect who had

ancient building are preserved 11 columns. In one of them Lord Byron has carved
his name. (Source hellas.teipir.gr).

Delphi
Delphi was
an ancient Greek city in which worked the most important oracle in the ancient
world. The city is mentioned in the Homeric times called Pitho. At the
beginning of historical times was one of the ancient cities of Phocis, but
gradually the role of the city was strengthened and developed at an national
center and a sacred city of the ancient Greeks. It was also the center of
Delphi Amphictyony. Delphi maintained its important position until the late
fourth century AD, when given a definitive end to the operation of the oracle
by decree of Emperor Theodosius A. Over the next centuries the city declined
and was finally abandoned in the period of the Slavic invasions. (Source Wikipedia).
Mycenae
Ancient
Olympia
Olympia (Greek: Ολυμπία Olympia), a sanctuary of ancient Greece in Elis, is known for having been
the site of the Olympic Games in classical times, comparable in importance to
the Pythian Games held in Delphi. The Olympic Games were held every four years,
dating back to 776 BC. In 394 AD, emperor Theodosius I abolished them as they
were then considered reminiscent of paganism. The first Olympic Games were in
honor of Zeus. (Source

Epidavros
Epidaurus (Greek: Επίδαυρος, Epidavros) was a small city (polis)
in ancient Greece, at the Saronic Gulf. Two modern towns bear the name
Epidavros (Επίδαυρος): Palaia Epidavros and Nea Epidavros.
Since 2010 they belong to the new municipality of Epidaurus, part of the
regional unit of Argolis. The seat of the municipality is the town Asklipieio.
Ancient Corinth
Corinth, or Korinthos (Greek: Κόρινθος, Korinthos) was a city-state
(polis) on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnesus
to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. The
modern town of Corinth is located approximately 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) northeast
of the ancient ruins. Since 1896, systematic archaeological investigations of
the Corinth Excavations by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens
have revealed large parts of the ancient city, and recent excavations conducted
by the Greek Ministry of Culture have brought important new facets of antiquity
to light. (Source Wikipedia).
The Methana
The Methana peninsula contains some 32
volcanoes, that are mostly andesitic and dacitic lava domes. The volcanic
activity in the peninsula began one million years ago and continued gradually
until 300 years ago. The last eruptions took place in 1700 at a submarine
volcano north of Kameni Chora. On land there is also the historic lava dome of
Kameni Chora that erupted in 230 BC. Methana is the north-west part of the Cycladic
volcanoes that are defined as active (Milos, Santorini and Nisyros). The rocks
are mostly dacites and andesites. On Methana there are thermal springs and
mofettes (gas exhalations). Methane is cut by many tectonic faults and so it is
an area in high danger of earthquakes. The mayor fault cuts the town of Methana
from west to east.
Nafplio
The city was named Nauplia (Ναυπλία) in ancient Greek and Latin. In Ionian Greek, it was also known as Naupliē (Ναυπλιη).
In Byzantine Greek, several variants were used, including Náfplion (Ναύπλιον), Anáplion (Ἀνάπλιον), and Anáplia (Ἀνάπλια). The Turkish name of the town was Mora Yenişehri, after Morea, a medieval name for the Peloponnese, and "yeni şehir," the Turkish for "new city". In Italian, the town was formerly known as Napoli or Napoli di Romania, after the medieval usage of "Romania" to refer to the lands of the Byzantine Empire.
In modern Greek, the town is now called Nafplio (Ναύπλιο), although English continues to employ Nafplion, Navplion, and Nauplia as well. (Source Wikipedia).

Isthmia
The Isthmian
Games or Isthmia (ancient
Greek Ἴσθμια) were one
of the Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece, and were named after the isthmus of
Corinth, where they were held. As with the Nemean Games, the Isthmian
Games were held both the year before and the year after the Olympic Games (the
second and fourth years of an Olympiad), while the Pythian Games were held in
the third year of the Olympiad cycle.
Meteora
The Meteora
(Greek: Μετέωρα,
"suspended rocks", "suspended in the air" or "in the
heavens above" - etymologically similar to "Meteorite") is one
of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in
Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The six monasteries are built on natural
sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near
the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The nearest town is
Kalambaka. The Meteora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List under
criteria I, II, IV, V and VII.
