Sights of Greece
This page lists 1,500 sights of Greece that have a page of their own: 947 archaeological sites, 72 castles, 164 monasteries, 246 museums, 40 caves, 14 canyons and gorges, 2 waterfalls, 5 lighthouses, 10 palaces. Each page has Wikidata's description, the type and heritage designation, the nearest airport and ferry port in a straight line, the best months to visit and the sights and beaches nearby. A sight has a page when it has a Wikipedia article or a heritage designation and a description in Wikidata.
The list is cut at the sights covered by the most Wikipedia language editions, then those with a heritage designation. It is not a complete catalogue or a ranking of importance; Wikidata's coverage is uneven.
