The Greek cradle of civilization

If the road ever takes you to Greece, do not spend time only on the sea and beautiful beaches. Be sure to visit these wonderful mysterious places.

I was drawn to the energy of this mysterious and ancient mountain. Penteli is a globally known mountain characterized by ancient quarries and an amazing crystal structure, as well as a golden marble imprint that was used to build the holy temple of the Parthenon on the Acropolis. However, what particularly interested me was Davelis Cave, which is located on the southwest side of the mountain.
A hidden and mysterious place near Athens is almost unvisited. The reason is the numerous superstitions that only fans of the occult come to explore.

Resting above a marble quarry, 45 meters wide and 62 meters high, Davelis Cave is a huge, enchanting and steeply lowered cave that could serve as a scenography for a horror film. Visitors reported that electronic devices were failing in this cave, that gleaming towers, inexplicable creatures, water dripping upwards, eerie voices, and remnants of satanic rituals and much more could be seen. By the way, the Davelis Cave was used as a sanctuary in the 5th century, and during the Middle Ages, hermits and Orthodox monks began to arrive in Pentela either because of spiritual exercises or because they were religiously persecuted, and the place was named the Cave of the Immaculate.


The monastery complex of Meteora, located between Kalambaka and Kastraki in Greece, is a unique world attraction, because it is built on completely inaccessible rocks that rise up to 550 meters into the sky. In free translation from Greek, the name Meteori would mean "hung in the sky", which is the first association when looking at this holy place. The ancient monasteries of this "heavenly city" were built on cliffs and the very tops of the rocks, so because of their unique appearance and the mystique that surrounds them, they are a real magnet for tourists from all over the world.

This monastery complex is a God-given place for the cruel, ascetic life of monks, whose ascetic cells can still be seen in the hollows of the rocks, making us wonder how it is possible that where there are literally no conditions for survival, life still survived. The inaccessibility and isolation of the monastery allowed the monks a relatively safe life. Pedestrian approaches to the buildings were built only at the beginning of the 20th century, so that today they can be reached by a combination of paths and steps, and car parks have been made.


We all know that Greece is the cradle of civilization, the existence of democracy and the coast that any sea in the world could wish for, but there are some facts about it that are unknown to many Greeks.

It would be sad to spend the summer in the land of ancient gods, and not to visit the miraculous Greek temples, natural phenomena.

This is really interesting, probably the road itself is interesting until you get there.

It's a beautiful country, and I could live there. The Greeks love us and many of them know the Serbian language.

Greece is a favorite summer resort for 17 million tourists from all over the world. People usually go to Greece for a vacation, to enjoy the beautiful sandy beaches, but also because of the good time that is in abundance in Greece. However, it would be sad to spend the summer in the land of ancient gods, and not to visit miraculous Greek temples, natural phenomena, but also interesting Greek cities.
