Ever since I was little, I’ve wanted to just travel the world. I always dreamed of just picking up everything, hopping on a plane, and going somewhere new. Have you ever asked yourself, if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Well my answer to that was always Greece. A little strange for a little kid right?
I mean what could you not love about Greece? It has beautiful white sand beaches, bright blue waters, and crisp white buildings but, surprisingly that’s not why I fell in love with Greece. I absolutely love to read and some of my favorite books are by Rick Riordan. Riordan writes fiction books with mythological bases and he’s the one that basically made it my life’s dream to go to Greece. Greece is full of culture and history that is just priceless to me. One of my favorite places is Athens.
Athens is not only beautiful but also contains lots of culture. Athens is home to the Parthenon, which is the greatest reason why I want to go there so bad. The Parthenon is a former temple to the Greek goddess Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategy. How awesome is that?! After about two and a half thousand years, this beautiful piece of history is still standing for people from all over the world to appreciate and experience.
Now I know that not everyone is into mythology and history so another good place to visit in Greece is Zakynthos. A weird name right? Well it’s undeniable beauty definitely makes up for it. This beautiful place is the location of a famous shipwreck in 1980 and that just adds to its beauty. It is also home to loggerhead sea turtles and many other different types of sea creatures. White sand beaches with crystalline blue waters, what more could you ask for?
My dream is to travel the world and I fully intend to do that. May it be in college or after college, I promised myself that I would. I had wanted it to be my senior trip but I am going to Spain with my school. I feel so lucky to be going to Spain but I also know that going there hasn’t been my lifelong dream. Now, i’ve done everything I can to convince you to go to Greece but if you still have some doubts just let me ask you this, why not?
Let's go on an adventure
