Throughout the year festivals dot the Greek calendar.
The fabulous, suitably famous Greek Easter is a week-long springtime celebration. And the main summertime event is the Athens & Epidaurus Festival, when the exquisite ancient Theatre of Epidavros and Athens’ Odeon of Herodes Atticus (right by the Acropolis) are the headline venues of this cultural feast with a top line-up of local and international music, dance and theatre.
Italy, a cradle of civilization and a hub of artistic expression, is adorned with an array of sculptures that beckon art enthusiasts from around the globe. From the grandeur of Michelangelo's David to the intricate beauty of Bernini's Apollo and Daphne, Italy's sculpture scene is a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
