Location of UNESCO World Heritage Sites within Greece

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972.[1] Greece ratified the convention on 17 July 1981, making its natural and cultural sites eligible for inclusion on the list.[2]

2021年現在, there are 18 properties in Greece inscribed on the World Heritage List, 16 of which are cultural sites and two (Meteora and Mount Athos) are mixed, listed for both their natural and cultural significance. The first site added to the list was the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae, in 1986. The next two sites listed were the Archeological site of Delphi and the Acropolis of Athens, in the following year. Five sites were added in 1988, two in 1989 and 1990 each, one in 1992, one in 1996, two in 1999, and one in 2007. The most recent site added was the Archaeological Site of Philippi, in 2016. There are no transnational sites in Greece. In addition, there are 14 sites on the tentative list, all of which were nominated in 2014.[2]

UNESCO lists sites under ten criteria; each entry must meet at least one of the criteria. Criteria i through vi are cultural, whereas vii through x are natural.[3]

Site Image Location (region) Year listed UNESCO data Description
Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae Temple columns and some scaffolds Peloponnese 1986 392; i, ii, iii (cultural) The temple, dedicated to Apollo Epicurius, was built in the 5th century BCE in the mountains of Arcadia. It is considered by UNESCO to be one of the best preserved monuments of classical antiquity. It is the earliest monument that features all three classical orders, Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. After falling out of use, the temple was forgotten for nearly 1700 years. It was rediscovered in the 18th century, attracting the attention of scholars and artists.[4]
Archeological site of Delphi Free standing columns Central Greece 1987 393; i, ii, iii, iv, vi (cultural) Delphi, located at the foot of Mount Parnassus, was the site of the Temple of Apollo, a Panhellenic sanctuary, and in Greek view the "navel of the world" (the Omphalos). Pythia, the oracle, resided in the temple, receiving pilgrims from all Greece. In the 6th century BCE, Delphi was seen as the religious centre and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.[5]
Acropolis, Athens Look at the Acropolis hill from a distance, Parthenon visible Attica 1987 404; i, ii, iii, iv, vi (cultural) The Acropolis of Athens stands on a steep hill above the city.

In the 5th century BCE, following their victory over the Persians, the Athenians under Pericles constructed a large number of monuments including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, and the Temple of Athena Nike. The monuments in the Acropolis have prominently inspired the Neoclassical architecture.[6]
Mount Athos Monastery overlooking the sea Monastic Republic of Mount Athos 1988 454; i, ii, iv, v, vi, vii (mixed) Situated on a narrow peninsula, Mount Athos has been governed as an autonomous entity since Byzantine times.

Mount Athos has exerted lasting influence on the development of religious architecture and monumental painting.[7]
Meteora Rock formations and a monastery building Thessaly 1988 455; i, ii, iv, v, vii (mixed) Meteora is a rock formation of sandstone peaks, hosting 24 Orthodox monasteries. Many of them were built on the almost inaccessible peaks during the revival of the eremeric ideal in the 15th century. The monasteries are decorated by 16th century frescoes, which represent a key stage in the development of post-Byzantine painting.[8]
Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki Central Macedonia 1988 456; i, ii, iv (cultural) Thessalonika was one of the first bases for the spread of Christianity. This site comprises several churches (including the Church of Hosios David and Hagios Demetrios (pictured)), constructed from the 4th to the 15th century, city walls from the early Byzantine period, and the Rotunda, commissioned in the 4th century by the Roman Empire Galerius and later converted into a church.[9]

The fortifications were built upon the existing Byzantine ones. The Upper town features several buildings from the Gothic period, including the Palace of the Grand Masters, the Great Hospital, and the Street of the Knights. When the Ottomans took the island, they converted most churches to mosques. Reconstruction took place during the Italian occupation in the early 20th century.[11]

In 1262, it was surrendered to the Byzantines and saw a great prosperity during the Palaeologan Renaissance era. It was later taken first by the Ottomans and then by the Venetians. After 1834, the inhabitants started leaving Mystras for the modern town of Sparta, and Mytras became a ruin.[12]
Archeological site of Olympia Free standing columns West Greece 1989 517; i, ii, iii, iv, vi (cultural) In the 10th century BCE, Olympia became a centre for the worship of Zeus.

Monasteries of Daphni, Hosios Loukas and Nea Moni of Chios Inner courtyard of Hosious Loukas Central Greece, Attica, North Aegean 1990 537; i, iv (cultural) These three monasteries, although located in different parts of Greece, are representative examples of the middle period of Byzantine religious architecture and they share the same aesthetic characteristics. All three churches share an octogonal plan; Nea Moni has a plain octagon while the two have the central space surrounded with a series of bays. The monasteries were decorated with marble works and mosaics in the 11th and 12th centuries. The Monastery of Hosios Loukas is pictured.[15]

Peloponnese 1999 941; i, ii, iii, iv, vi (cultural) Mycenae and Tiryns were two of the most important cities of Mycenean Greece, which flourished between the 15th and 12th centuries BCE. The cities were palace economies with monumental architecture, such as the Lion's Gate and Treasury of Atreus. The Linear B tablets are the first testimonies of the Greek language. Both cities are linked to the Homeric epics Iliad and Odyssey, which have influenced the European literature and arts ever since.[18]

Following the visit of the Apostle Paul in 49–50 CE, the city became an early centre of the Christian faith, as demonstrated by the remains of Christian basilicas and an octagonal church.[21]
