Central Greece

Central Greece is located in the south east of the country, just above Athens. The capital of the region is the city of Lamia....

In this city you can see some huge fortress and its Archaeological Museum, located inside the fortress. The most important monument of the region is Hosios Loukas Monastery, a historical place that is today in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites liste. The region also has a great variety of nature like everywhere in Greece, where you can find your own little beach to enjoy. However, the region also has many mountains, like Mount Parnassus or Mount Giona, and also the Mornos lake in Phocis. But one off the most known places of the region is Thermopylae. It’s a narrow coastal passage very famous, since it’s the place where took place the historical battle that opposed the Spartans with its leader, Leonidas and the Persians ( 300 movies).
