- Crete - So far there are a total of 7,500 karstic formations (caves, abysses, etc.). Of these, about 3,400 are located on the island of Crete.
- Athens - Acropolis - The Acropolis hill, also named the "Sacred Rock" of Athens, is the most important site of the city. During Perikles' Golden Age, ancient Greek civilization was represented in an ideal way on the hill and some of the architectural masterpieces of the period were erected on its ground. Within the Acropolis stands the Parthenon. It is the most characteristic monument of the ancient Greek civilization and still remains its international symbol. It was dedicated to Athena Parthenos, the patron goddess of Athens. It was built between 447 and 438 B.C.
