My travelling to Greece was really magical. Great weather, warm sea and a lot of sightseeing made me happy. The most unforgettable place of unterest in Greece is Athens. I can talk about it countless and every story will be more and more interesting. I liked to visit little shops and buy various souvenirs and gifts for my friends. But it is better once to visit Greece, its ancient world and to see everything with your own eyes. I certainly will go to Greece again to enjoy sun, sea and excursions. I want to see Thessaloniki, Meteora, Delphi, Athens, Thermopylae and Olympus, Dion, Vergina once more. Путешествие в Грецию было действительно волшебным. Отличная погода, теплое ласковое море и очень много достопримечательностей делали меня счастливым. Самое незабываемое зрелище в Греции это Афины. Рассказывать о них можно долго и интересно, но лучше один раз побывать там, в античном мире и все увидеть своими глазами. Мне очень понравилось посещать маленькие магазинчики и покупать там различные сувениры и подарки для моих друзей.Я обязательно поеду в Грецию еще раз и буду наслаждаться морем, солнцем и экскурсиями. Хочу еще раз увидеть Салоники, Метеоры, Дельфы, Афины, Фермопилы и Олимп, Дион, Вергина.
