According to legend it was the birthplace of Apollo’s twin sister Artemis

The Archaeological Museum of Hania is to unveil on Wednesday two small sculptures depicting the gods Artemis and Apollo, discovered during ongoing excavations at the archaeological site of Ancient Aptera in Souda, on the island's northwestern coast.

Greece is blessed with one of the most beautiful seas in the world — the Aegean Sea. One of the must activities to include in your holiday itinerary on Mykonos is a day trip to Delos and Rhenia islands with Mykonos on Board. We joined Artemis and Leonidas on a memorable sailing trip and enjoyed a day of fun, sunshine and fantastic Greek hospitality.

The most famous island group in the Aegean Sea comprises some of the most beautiful islands in the world! Gorgeous sandy beaches, architecture in white and blue, traditional lifestyle, folk music, warm, hospitable people and barren landscapes with isolated chapels turn a trip to the Cyclades into a lifetime experience.

Greece’s Central Archaeological Council on Sunday gave the go-ahead to a project to help restore some of the most important monuments on the island of Delos, using a grant donated by the Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Foundation.

The mention of Greece brings up images of white arcing beaches and sparkling aqua waters under sun-drenched skies.

Archaeological excavations unearthed significant finds at Aptera, Chania on the island of Crete.

Two small sized sculptures of about 0.54cm height were discovered, οne of Artemis is made of copper and the second of her brother Apollo was made of marble.

Breathtaking images of Ancient Epidaurus as captured by drone. The images capture the beauty of the place.

Located on the fertile Argolid plain of the east Peloponnese in Greece and blessed with a mild climate and natural springs, the sanctuary of Asclepius at Epidaurus was an important sacred centre in both ancient Greek and Roman times.

The “Oracle of Athens”, the only oracle found in the Greek capital , was recently discovered at the archaeological site of Kerameikos by the German Archaeological Institute in Athens.

Jutta Stroszeck, who leads the group of archaeologists, talked to ANA-MPA about the importance of this finding.

Love is one of the most common themes in Greek mythology and this is not at all surprising, given the fact that the Ancient Greeks worshipped not one, but two deities linked with this powerful feeling: Eros (Cupid) and his mother Aphrodite.
