Things to do in Greece Greece is full of culture, history, fun, and excitement. There are plenty of sights to see including Mount Olympus, Beaches of Crete, and the Epidaurus Theater. The Ladadika Jewish Quarter (pictured right) is one of the few communities to come back after the Nazi’s had destroyed it. It’s a great place for people to hang out.
