DK Greece, Athens and the Mainland -- Dk Travel, Paperback

Whether you plan to watch the sun sink behind the marble columns of the Parthenon in Athens, visit iconic archaeological sites such as Delphi and Olympia, or simply soak up the sun on the sandy beaches of Halkidikí, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that mainland Greece has to offer.

World-class museums and archaeological sites may be the first things that come to mind when you think of Greece, but there are things both old and new to explore. Take Europe's oldest city, for example: Athens has a youthful energy and buzzing nightlife, where upmarket restaurants stand alongside traditional grill eateries and old-school ouzeris jostle with the trendy cocktail bars of up-and-coming urban neighborhoods. Meanwhile, Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city, awes visitors with its Byzantine churches and vibrant contemporary art scene.
