Meteora, Thessaly |
Because
of its geographical position, Greece was a crossroad of civilisations that had
left their traces everywhere: the architecture of the museums and settlements,
miniature art, daily life, nutritional customs and in all forms of popular art
in the various regions of the country. The visitor can come into contact with
this multihued and impressive mosaic through trips into historical, cultural,
artistic and folkloric traditions.
According to the
UNESCO’s official website:
"The
monuments included on the World Heritage List are selected and approved on the
basis of their value as the best examples of human creative genius. They
exhibit an important interchange of human values and bear a unique or at least
exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which is
living or has disappeared. They are directly linked to important stages in
human history and for this reason they have outstanding universal significance
and are a part of mankind’s common heritage".
