Dorling Kindersley Jerusalem, Israel and the Palestinia

У большинства людей Греция ассоциируется с музеями мирового уровня и античными руинами, однако эта страна может предложить туристам не только памятники древности. Например, Афины, старейший город Европы, славится своей активной ночной жизнью; по соседству с дорогими ресторанами здесь можно найти небольшие заведения, угощающие гостей традиционной едой, и вокруг греческих таверн узери возникают современные районы с коктейль-барами. А Салоники, второй по величине город страны, славится и своими византийскими церквями, и статусом дома современного искусства • Но Греция может предложить туристам не только свои города. Ее омывают три моря; на севере возвышаются горы Пинд; на юге, в Аттике и Пелопоннесе находятся знаменитые виноградники. Любители активного отдуха могут отправиться в поход в каньон Викос и ущелье Лусиос или забраться на Олимп
