The sun dips low over the rugged cliffs of Meteora, casting golden hues across monasteries perched impossibly atop stone pillars, a testament to human devotion since their inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. Far to the south, the Acropolis of Athens, honored in 1987, stands as an enduring symbol of ancient democracy, its marble columns whispering tales of a civilization that shaped the Western world. From the medieval walls of Rhodes (1988) to the sacred stillness of Mount Athos (1988), Greece’s eighteen UNESCO sites weave a tapestry of history, faith, and artistry, each a chapter in a story spanning millennia.
