Greek ruins and sites to visit

Greek here spans the Aegean world from the Minoan palaces of Crete, begun around 1900 BC, and the Mycenaean citadels of the Bronze Age, through the Classical city-states, to the Hellenistic kingdoms after Alexander. Expect sanctuaries with temples and treasuries, theatres cut into hillsides, agoras, stadiums and royal tombs. Many cities, above all in Turkey, were rebuilt under Rome, so a Greek theatre and a Roman colonnaded street often share one site.
