UNESCO World Heritage Sites in this video (all quotes from whc.unesco.org):
Delphi: The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of ... the 'navel of the world'. Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious centre and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.
Olympia: In the 10th century B.C., Olympia became a centre for the worship of Zeus. The Altis – the sanctuary to the gods – has one of the highest concentrations of masterpieces from the ancient Greek world. In addition to temples, there are the remains of all the sports structures erected for the Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia every four years beginning in 776 B.C.
Mycenae and Tiryns: The archaeological sites of Mycenae and Tiryns are the imposing ruins of the two greatest cities of the Mycenaean civilization, which dominated the eastern Mediterranean world from the 15th to the 12th century B.C. and played a vital role in the development of classical Greek culture.
Epidaurus: Hellenic architectural ensemble of the 4th century BCE. The site is one of the most complete ancient Greek sanctuaries of Antiquity and is significant for its architectural brilliance and influence.
Acropolis, Athens: The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of the classical spirit and civilization and form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world.

Η Αράχωβα Βοιωτίας από ψηλά - Traditional village of Arachova, drone video
Η Αράχωβα (ή Αράχοβα) είναι μία ορεινή κωμόπολη του Νομού Βοιωτίας χτισμένη στις νότιες πλαγιές του Παρνασσού σε υψόμετρο 968 μέτρων. Αποτελούσε έδρα του ομώνυμου δήμου μέχρι τα τέλη του ενώ με την εφαρμογή του προγράμματος Καλλικράτης εντάχθηκε στον νέο Δήμο Διστόμου-Αράχωβας-Αντίκυρας, του οποίου αποτελεί Δημοτική Ενότητα.
Αποτελεί δημοφιλές χειμερινό θέρετρο, χάρη στην ύπαρξη χιονοδρομικού κέντρου, (που τελευταία επεκτάθηκε και ανακαινίστηκε) και τη μικρή της απόσταση από την Αθήνα.
Η επικρατέστερη άποψη για την προέλευση της ονομασία της είναι πως προέρχεται από τη νοτιοσλαβική λέξη Οrechova που σημαίνει καρυδότοπος. Όμως υπάρχουν ακόμη δύο εκδοχές για την προέλευση της ονομασίας της. Σύμφωνα με την πρώτη, η περιοχή ήταν γνωστή στα χρόνια της Επανάστασης ως Ράχωβα, λέξη ελληνικής ρίζας, η οποία προέρχεται από το συνδυασμό ράχις και ωβάς, κι η οποία χρησιμοποιήθηκε για να δηλώσει την οικιστική ένωση κατοίκων που ζούσαν σε μικρότερα μορφώματα.
Η άλλη εκδοχή θέλει τη λέξη να προέρχεται από την ελληνική ράχις και τη σλαβική ova (τόπος), άρα Αράχωβα (Αράχοβα) = ραχότοπος
Arachova is a mountain town and a former municipality in the western part of Boeotia, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is a municipal unit, part of the municipality Distomo-Arachova-Antikyra.
Its name is of South Slavic origin and denotes a place with walnut trees. It is a tourist destination due to its location in the mountains, its traditions and its proximity to Delphi.
Greek rebels under Georgios Karaiskakis defeated the Ottomans at the 1826 Battle of Arachova.
Arachova has a panoramic view, uphill small houses and the cobbled streets show a picturesque architecture. The town center includes a huge and steep cliff, the Bell Tower, covered with dense ivy. At the top of the tower is a large 10m height clock. Arachova is famous for its black wine, its brusque, the colorful textiles, carpets and rugs, handicrafts and woodcut creations as well.The Parnassos Ski Centre is situated to the north.
