Ancient Greek Heritage and Museums

This selection spans Greek history from the Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri to the 11th-century Byzantine mosaics of the Monastery of Daphni. In Athens, the Acropolis features the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike, showcasing classical Doric and Ionic architecture alongside the Roman-era Odeon of Herodes Atticus. The collection extends to the UNESCO-listed Corfu Old Town and the Historical Museum of Crete. Cultural heritage is further explored through the Benaki Museum’s art collections and the traditional viticulture documented at Santorini’s Wine Museum Koutsoyannopoulos.
