Based on the votes of travelers themselves Tripadvisor has come up with a list of the top ten sights and landmarks worth visiting in Greece.
Rather unsurprisingly the top two places go to Greece's most recognizable landmark with the Acropolis hill taking the first spot followed by the Parthenon itself at number 2.
The list also includes Meteora, Delphi and perhaps lesser known monuments such as the Acropolis of Rhodes and the island of Spinalonga which was once home to a leper colony.
Below is the list in full of the top ten places to visit in Greece.
Νο 1 Acropolis
Νο 2 Parthenon
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Νο 3 Meteora
The monasteries perched on the tops of imposing cliffs are wonders in their own right and marvels of Byzantine architecture.
Νο 4 Delphi
Perhaps the spiritually most important site of the ancient world.
Νο 5 Hephaestus Temple in Athens
The best preserved ancient Greek temple in Athens and perhaps the country.
Νο 6 Hozoviotissa Monastery Source
A stunning monastery perched on a cliff with incredible views of the Aegean.
Νο 7 Acropolis of Lindos (Rhodes)

A pretty island with a fascinating history including being the last leper colony in Europe widely popularised by the best selling novel 'The Island' by Victoria Hislop.
Νο 9 Ancient theater of Epidavros
A marvel of ancient architecture, even mere whispers at the center of the stage can be heard in the upper seats.
Νο 10 Hermes and the Infant Dionysus by Praxiteles
