提到希腊，人们脑中就会浮现出圣托里尼岛上的蓝白房子和美丽的爱琴海。其实，作为最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一，希腊还有很多值得一游的风景胜地。
希腊阿基斯提岛风光美景。这个岛位于希腊阿提卡大区比雷埃夫斯县，属于萨罗尼克群岛（Saronic Islands），面积13.367平方公里。
Known for its plethora of ancient ruins, whitewashed villages, sunny beaches, tasty cuisine and friendly atmosphere, it is no wonder that Greece ranks among Europe’s top travel destinations. But the reason that tourism exists in the first place is that it’s just so beautiful here. Often, you’ll find that beauty on the many scattered islands, lying like little gems in the seas surrounding the Grecian peninsula. Each one offers its own share of stunning landscapes, historic sites, nightlife scenes and cultural delights.
希腊以其众多的历史遗迹、被粉刷成白色的村庄、阳光灿烂的海滩、美味的烹饪和友好的氛围而闻名遐迩，难怪它能跻身欧洲顶级旅游目的地之列。但希腊旅游业发达的首要原因就是这里的风景真是太美了。通常，你可以在许多分散的岛屿上发现希腊的美，它们就像希腊半岛周围海域中的小宝石。每一个岛屿都有着令人惊叹的风景、历史遗迹、夜生活和文化乐趣。
There’s a wealth of these to explore. From the Ionian islands in the west – including Kefalonia and Corfu – to the Aegean Sea, boasting Mykonos, Santorini, Kos, and Rhodes, amongst others. Then there’s the pre-Hellenic Minoan culture of Crete to the south. Back on the mainland, there’s scenery worthy of the gods all over the place. The monastery of Meteora, the ruins at Delphi, and then, most famously, the capital of Athens and its iconic Parthenon. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in Greece:
希腊有很多值得探索的地方。从西部的爱奥尼亚群岛（包括凯法利尼亚岛和科孚岛）到拥有着迈科诺斯岛、圣托里尼岛、科斯岛和罗德岛等多个岛屿的爱琴海。南部还有克里特岛的前希腊米诺斯文化。再回到大陆，到处都是值得一游的景色。迈泰奥拉的修道院，德尔菲的遗迹，以及最著名的首都雅典及其标志性的帕特农神庙。
下面来看看希腊最值得一去的旅游胜地：
10. Cape Sounion 苏尼翁角
Situated at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula, Cape Sounion is best known as the site of the ruins of the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea. The site is a popular day-excursion for tourists from Athens, with sunset over the Aegean Sea, as viewed from the ruins, a sought-after spectacle.
苏尼翁角位于阿提卡半岛最南端，以古希腊海神波塞冬神庙遗址所在地而知名。这些遗址栖息在岬角上，三面环海。对于来自希腊雅典的游客来说，这里是最受欢迎的一日游景点，因为从遗址上可以看到热门美景——爱琴海的日落。
9. Thessaloniki 塞萨洛尼基
Thessaloniki is Greece’s second-largest city and the capital city of the Macedonian region of Northern Greece. Lively festivals, social events and a buzzing nightlife make this city the cultural capital of Greece. Comprised of a historic city center and commercial district, Thessaloniki offers both old and new attractions from its Byzantine walls, White Tower and Turkish baths to colorful food markets, museums and art galleries. Thessaloniki’s nightlife is unmatched. From small tavernas to nightclubs and other entertainment venues, Thessaloniki offers it all.
塞萨洛尼基是希腊第二大城市，也是希腊北部马其顿地区的首府。热闹的节日、丰富的社交活动和生机勃勃的夜生活使这座城市成为希腊的文化之都。它拥有着历史悠久的市中心和商业区，从拜占庭式的城墙、白塔和土耳其式的浴室，到丰富多彩的食品市场、博物馆和美术馆，各种新老景点，塞萨洛尼基都能提供。塞萨洛尼基的夜生活无与伦比。从小酒馆到夜总会和其他娱乐场所，这里应有尽有。
8. Zagori 扎戈里
Zagori is a region of great natural beauty, with striking geology and two national parks, in northwestern Greece. It’s dense forests and rugged mountains are furrowed by powerful rivers and dotted with traditional villages, many featuring grand stone houses dating from the late eighteenth century. The best way to enjoy the area is by hiking the numerous paths connecting the villages. The most accessible and rewarding target is the wonderful Víkos Gorge.
扎戈里是希腊西北部一个自然美景区，拥有两个国家公园，这里的地质地貌令人惊叹。扎戈里森林茂密，山峦崎岖，河流滔滔，传统村落星罗棋布，有许多建于十八世纪晚期的宏伟石屋。欣赏这一地区美景的最佳方式是徒步穿越连接村庄的众多小径。最容易到达和最有价值的徒步旅行的目标是风景美妙的威科斯峡谷。
7. Halkidiki 哈尔基迪基半岛
Halkidiki is a trident-like peninsula near the city of Thessaloniki, sporting excellent beaches. The three separate peninsulas can be roughly summarized as follows: Kassandra has the nightlife, Sithonia has the beaches and Athos has the monks. Being closest to Thessaloniki, Kassandra is more built-up, while the more quiet Sithonia has campgrounds, hidden coves and clear waters. Both are popular with Greek and Eastern European tourists. Much of the easternmost peninsula belongs to the Mount Athos monastic community. It’s accessible by boat and open to male pilgrims only.
哈尔基迪基半岛靠近塞萨洛尼基市，形状类似三叉戟，拥有非常适合运动的海滩。卡桑德拉的夜生活，西托尼亚的海滩，阿索斯的僧侣，是这三个半岛的特色之处。卡桑德拉离塞萨洛尼基最近，建筑更加密集，而西托尼亚则更加安静，有着露营地、隐蔽的海湾和清澈的水域。两个半岛都很受希腊和东欧游客的欢迎。半岛最东端的大部分地区属于阿索斯山修道院社区。乘船可到达，只对男性朝圣者开放。
trident[ˈtraɪdnt]: n. 三叉戟
6. Peloponnese 伯罗奔尼撒半岛
Shaped much like a large leaf, Peloponnese was traditionally called Morea, which means mulberry leaf. Located in the southernmost region of both Europe and Greece, Peloponnese is a wide peninsula connected to the mainland by the Rio-Antirrio bridge. Interspersed with classical Greek temples, Venetian fortresses, Byzantine churches and Mycenaean palaces, Peloponnese echoes the ancient cultures and events from its extensive history. Among these ancient ruins is Olympia, where the first Olympic Games were hosted in honor of Zeus.
伯罗奔尼撒半岛形状很像一片大叶子，传统上被称为摩里亚，意思是桑叶。伯罗奔尼撒半岛位于欧洲和希腊最南端，面积广阔，通过里约-安提里奥大桥与大陆相连。伯罗奔尼撒半岛上点缀着希腊古典寺庙、威尼斯堡垒、拜占庭教堂和迈锡尼宫殿，这些建筑都是其古老文化和历史事件的缩影。在这些古代遗迹中有奥林匹亚，第一届奥林匹克运动会就是在这里举行的，用以纪念宙斯。
