Discover monuments such as the Temple of Hera, dedicated to the queen of the Greek gods, and the Temple of Zeus, a landmark of Doric architecture that once held a 40-foot-tall ivory-and-gold statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. At a local restaurant, savor typical Greek snacks accompanied with local wine and enjoy a folkloric dance show that includes traditional Zorba music.
