Where is best to go in Greece for culture?

I want to go on holiday to Greece soon but I'm not sure of the best place to stay.

I want to see as many of the ancient sites as I can, be near a nice sandy beach and maybe one or two bars but not a crazy bar scene.

What town or area of Greece should I stay in?

Thanks

  • Athens has nearby beaches and heaps of culture OR take an island like Cyprus or Crete

    The alternative is the island of Kerkira aka Corfu

    I think you should visit Ancient Olympia. If you hire a guide you'll learn a lot about the culture.

    The museum there is great, too. It even features the famous statue of Hermes by Praxiteles.

    I find museums in Greece a bit boring, but this is amazing!
