With so much history in one country, it is hard to know where to start when making a list of amazing and unusual places to visit in Greece. But I think the ten I have chosen are the very best of them…
Windmills of Lasithi Plateau ,Lasith
10 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
There were once thousands of windmills located here, but now just a few have survived making them stand out more and look even more picturesque.
Brettos, Athens
9 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
Said to be one of the oldest distilleries in the world, its a place of colour and of course booze.
Thessaloniki Train Cemetery, Thessaloniki
8 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
Not the most exciting place to visit, but seeing thousands of rusting trains and carriages all in one place makes for a fantastic holiday snap with a difference.
Volcanic Rocks of Lemnos, Lemnos
7 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
I’m no geologist, but I do like a weird shaped rock if I come across it.

Dikteon Cave, Psichro
6 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
It is said that Zeus himself once hid inside this cave. I would have thought he would have chosen somewhere a little grander.
Davelis Cave on Pendeli Mountain, Penteli
5 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
Strangely, despite it being one of the most amazing places in Greece, it is also one of the least visited mostly thanks to its location and superstitions that surround it
Valley of the Butterflies, Rhodes
4 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
It’s not something that a camera can capture, but what you are looking at is tens of thousands of butterflies that come to this place to next each and every year.
Antikythera Mechanism, Athens
3 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
If you want to see the unusual, the Antikythera mechanism is as weird as it gets. Known as one of the world’s most advanced technological artefact, it asks a million more questions than it has answers for.

Meteora, Kalabaka

Meteora is home to what I can only presume to be the world’s most inaccessible Orthodox church. There are no tour guides here, but you can get close.
Tourlitis Lighthouse, Andros
1 – Original Source Used: >> Click Here <<
Built in 1897, it was once flat on the island, but erosion has since made it look like a pillar with a lighthouse on top.
