Greece

One thing I’m interested in is ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Greece has lots of temples like the temple of my favorite Olympian god Apollo in Delphi and the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion. Greece has a colorful history and is known as the cradle of western civilization. One of the most popular Greek myths is The Odyssey, written by Homer. It’s a story about a Greek hero, Odyssey. One of my favorite stories is the story of Achilles (a Greek war hero, the son of a sea nymph and a Greek king) and his lover Patroclus.

Other than my interest in the myths, the things calling me to Greece are simple. The beauty of the islands, the iconic white cities, blue waters and the absolutely delicious Greek food. Gyros, a pita stuffed with grilled chicken, onions, tzatziki sauce, lettuce and fried potatoes, doesn’t that sound delicious? That paired with a cold drink, the warmth of the sun and the idyllic narrow streets to browse, sounds like the perfect vacation for me.

I’d love to spend forever swimming in the clear blue waters of Greece, bathing in the sun and letting the refreshing water wash off my worries. I would probably take my friends to Greece with me. Exploring the cities, the restaurants and the ancient history with them, and relaxing in the warmth with them seems like a good bonding experience.

The movie Mamma Mia was filmed in Skopelos, a small island of Greece. Some of the filming locations would be amazing to see, since I quite like the movie.
