Best Bathtub Resurfacing Near Me!

bathtub resurfacing near me

In the coastal beauty of San Diego, where homes often reflect the vibrant lifestyle of California, maintaining a fresh and modern look is essential. One area that tends to show signs of wear and tear over time is the bathroom, specifically the bathtub. However, replacing a bathtub can be a costly and time-consuming endeavor. That's where FG Tub & Tile, with over 40 years of refinishing experience, comes to the rescue, offering professional bathtub resurfacing services that can transform your bathroom without breaking the bank.

Bath Tub Refinishing Services: A Cost-Effective Solution

Bathtub refinishing is a game-changer for those looking to rejuvenate their bathrooms without the hefty price tag of replacement. The process is not as complex as it may seem, and FG Tub & Tile's local San Diego County professionals can typically complete the job in just a few hours. This method not only saves money but is also an excellent way to update outdated fixtures, breathing new life into your bathroom space.

Bathtub Reglazing: The Miracle Method

FG Tub & Tile specializes in professional bathroom resurfacing in San Diego, CA, using the miracle method of bathtub reglazing. This technique involves restoring the surface of a worn or damaged tub to its original or like-new condition. With the use of cutting-edge techniques and quality workmanship, the company ensures a visually appealing result that stands the test of time.

Clients can take advantage of a wide range of color options and excellent customer service in San Diego County. The experienced professionals at FG Tub & Tile can reglaze fixtures in as little as one day, providing a cost-effective solution for those looking to update their bathrooms quickly.

Bathtub Categories: Tailored Resurfacing Techniques

Different styles of bathtubs require specific resurfacing techniques, and FG Tub & Tile understands the nuances of each. From drop-in tubs and freestanding tubs to classic clawfoot tubs and accessible walk-in tubs, the company tailors its approach to ensure the best results. The delicate process involves sanding, preparing, and reglazing, requiring attention to detail to maintain the beauty of the final finish.

Bathtub Dimensions: Impact on Refinishing Costs

The dimensions of your bathtub play a role in the cost of refinishing. Larger tubs may take longer to sand, prep, and reglaze, affecting both time and cost. On the other hand, smaller tubs may speed up the refinishing process, offering a more budget-friendly option. FG Tub & Tile provides accurate quotes based on the specific details of your tub and tile, ensuring transparency in pricing.

Reglazing Shower Walls: Achieving a Consistent Look

For homes with tub/shower combos, FG Tub & Tile recommends repairing both the bathtub and shower walls for a consistent and uniform appearance. While tub reglazing alone may not match the original walls, the company's experts can guide you on selecting a complementary color or recommend a complete remodel for the best results.

Refinishing vs. Replacement: The Cost-Effective Choice

Homeowners often face the dilemma of whether to replace or refinish their fixtures. FG Tub & Tile emphasizes that refinishing is a cost-effective alternative, avoiding hidden fees associated with replacement, such as demolition, plumbing work, and new installations. When done correctly, refinishing can be just as good as replacing, saving time, money, and hassle.

Fiberglass, Cultured Marble, Acrylic Refinishing: A Comprehensive Solution

FG Tub & Tile goes beyond traditional porcelain tubs, offering refinishing services for fiberglass, cultured marble, and acrylic fixtures. The company's expertise extends to these materials, providing homeowners with an affordable alternative to replacement. The diverse range of options allows clients to customize the look of their home with ease.

Preventing Grout Failure: A Proactive Approach

Improperly done grout work can lead to water absorption, causing swelling and eventual cracking. FG Tub & Tile offers a solution to prevent grout failure by removing old grout, cleaning the tub surface, applying new grout, and sealing it. This not only saves money and time but also ensures a durable and long-lasting finish.

Quick and Efficient: How Long Does Bathtub Resurfacing Take?

FG Tub & Tile understands the value of time, and its resurfacing procedure typically takes about 3-4 hours to complete. Clients can use their tubs again within 24 hours, enjoying a refreshed and updated bathroom in a short timeframe. The process includes removing old finishes, prepping the surface, applying new materials, and curing the new finish.

What happened to the Venus de Milo’s arms?

Elizabeth Nix    Jun 22, 2015

One of the most famous examples of ancient Greek sculpture, the Venus de Milo is immediately recognizable by its missing arms and popularly believed to represent Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, who was known to the Romans as Venus. The artwork was discovered in 1820 on the Aegean island of Melos (also called Milos). An ensign in the French navy, Olivier Voutier, whose ship was anchored in the harbor at Melos, decided to kill time one day by going ashore and searching for antiquities. While digging near the ruins of an ancient theater, Voutier noticed that a local farmer, who’d been removing stones from a nearby wall for use as building materials, seemed to have found something inside the wall. Upon investigating, Voutier learned the farmer had located the top half of a statue of a woman. Recognizing the statue as potentially significant, the Frenchman, with the farmer’s help, unearthed its lower half not far away. Voutier told his superiors about the discovery and the French acquired the artwork, which came to be known as the Venus de Milo, for a relatively modest sum. It arrived in France in 1821 and was presented to Louis XVIII, who donated it to the Louvre Museum, where it remains today.

The Louvre initially promoted the Venus de Milo as a masterpiece from the Greek classical era. Now, however, the Venus de Milo is thought to have been produced around 100 B.C., during a later period known as the Hellenistic age. Originally carved in two blocks of marble then fitted together, the statue stands 6 feet 7 inches from head to toe and is the creation of an artist named Alexandros of Antioch, about whom little is known.

As for the Venus de Milo’s missing limbs, there long have been claims they were broken off in 1820 during a fight on the shore of Melos, as French and Turkish sailors vied for possession of the artwork. But, in fact, most scholars today believe the sculpture’s arms already were missing when it was found by Voutier and the farmer. (Also missing now is the metal jewelry scholars say decorated the statue’s arms, head and ears in ancient times, as well as the colored paint on its face, hair and drapery.) Speculation remains about the Venus de Milo’s original pose, although evidence suggests its once held an apple in its left hand.

It’s an appropriate metaphor for the goddess of love and reproduction. “Something new is coming into being where before there was at most an amorphous mass … Women create thread; they somehow pull it out of nowhere, just as they produce babies out of nowhere,” writes Barber. For the ancient Greeks, spinning had yet another association with sex. Greek vases depict prostitutes spinning. It was a productive occupation while waiting for clients. “In the same manner that sex was the trade of the prostitutes, so too was the making of textiles,” writes art historian Rachel Rosenzweig in her 2004 book Worshipping Aphrodite. So a spinning Venus seems theoretically plausible. But would the pose actually work? In the 19th century, a sculptor might have tested the idea with a plaster cast. In the 21st, we have a cheaper, simpler, more versatile option. Cosmo Wenman is a San Diego designer and artist (and an old friend) who’s on a crusade to get museums to publicly release 3-D digital scans of their public-domain sculptures. One of his arguments for the social value of releasing scans is that they’d allow artists and others to remake existing works in imaginative ways. Using his own scans, I knew that he’d restored the lost nose on the Louvre’s Inopos bust of Alexander the Great and had remixed elements of classical sculptures in a contemporary bust he’d done for a client. I also knew he had made a 3-D photocapture of the Venus from a highly accurate 1850 plaster cast now housed in the Skulpturhalle Basel in Switzerland. Cosmo had the know-how and the digital raw material to recreate Venus de Milo as a spinner. I hired him to try it. Consulting Barber’s sketch, ancient images of spinning available online, and a YouTube tutorial on how to use a simple drop spindle, he worked with a digital anatomist to develop a 3-D rendering that preserved the statue’s existing pose intact. After a few iterations, the result was a convincing digital model. We then hired the 3-D printing service Shapeways to make a tabletop replica in white plastic. (The tools had to be printed separately; some assembly required.) Turning the computer model into a tangible sculpture provided unexpected insights into the original. Cosmo quickly realized that neither the distaff and wad of fibers nor the spindle could have been made of marble. (“Maybe she lost her arms,” he quips, “because some dope did, in fact, put a 30-pound marble ball on the top of the distaff, and 20 pounds of extra weight from a solid marble spindle hanging on her right arm.”) For our tabletop Venus, he imagined the tools instead as lightweight wood, painted gold. Rather than mundane wool thread, he used a gold chain appropriate for a goddess. The gold, he observes, also draws the modern viewer’s eye “away from the novelty of the arms, putting the viewer’s focus on the tools and the activity, where it would have been intended.” The re-creation provides a plausible answer to a question posed by the original advocate of a spinning Venus, archeologist Elmer G. Suhr, in the 1950s and 1960s. Suhr identified many classical sculptures with poses suggestive of spinning, but none of them had implements. Where did the tools go? Suhr argued that “the equipment of a spinner must have been a disturbing element to the artist,” who simply dispensed with the distaffs and spindles, assuming that “everyone in ancient times was sufficiently familiar with the process” to recognize the stance and gestures. Cosmo’s version suggests a better answer: that the tools were separate accessories made of perishable materials or precious metals and have simply been lost or stolen. None of this proves, of course, that the Venus de Milo was originally a spinner. (Citing a crudely carved hand holding an apple that was found on the same site, Curtis in his book argues for that theory; the poor carving, he suggests, is because the hand was meant to be mostly hidden against the wall of a niche.) But the replica demonstrates plausibility.

#GivingTuesday: California State Parks Foundation

Today is National Giving Tuesday - the day after we consume all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals and reflect outward to what we can actually give back. Since the California State Parks are something we are so grateful for, and enjoy often, we thought it was the perfect charity to support and donate to today and we urge you to match us!

A donation to the park helps to preserve the natural beauty, trail work, campsite maintenance, and restoration projects to keep our parks in tip-top shape for us to continue to recreate in. And if keeping our parks beautiful isn't enough for you, for as little as $25 you become a member of the CSPF receiving a branded tote and decal, 10% discount at California State Park Campgrounds and a 1 year subscription to Sunset Magazine.

DONATE HERE

Still not sold? Get out and enjoy some of our favorite California State Parks below and remember how important it is to keep them around!

Anza Borrego Desert State Park

The country's largest state park, Anza Borrego Desert offers hundreds of miles of trails, a breathtaking wildflower bloom in the spring, hidden desert palm oases, night skies so clear you can see the milky way, and unique wildlife including the elusive Bighorn Sheep. Grab a campsite anytime from late September to early April and enjoy yourself in the vast beauty of the desert!

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park

You know all the hype you've heard about the striking coast lines of Big Sur? Well the rumors are true! The landscape is one of the most beautiful we've ever seen, and we had the pleasure of camping beneath giant Redwoods at Pfeiffer Campground, and being able to see the epic purple marbled sands and waves crashing over jagged rocks at Pfeiffer State Beach. If the beauty of Big Sur won't compel an appreciation of State Parks, I don't know what will!

Point Mugu State Park

About an hour and a half up the PCH from Los Angeles in to the Santa Monica Mountains you will find an outdoorsman's dream beach: Point Mugu. Bobby (Magpie) used to actually setup wildlife cameras in this area during his time with the National Park Services at the Santa Monica National Recreation Area, and described the crashing waves at the point as Fantasia-esque.

It features five miles of ocean shoreline, with rocky bluffs, sandy beaches, sand dunes, rugged hills and uplands, two major river canyons and wide grassy valleys dotted with sycamores, oaks and a few native walnuts. There are more than 70 miles of hiking trails, including the jagged pinnacles of the Boney Mountains State Wilderness Area. Plus there is swimming (of course) so you can cool off after working up a sweat.

Mount San Jacinto State Park

A few hours from LA and San Diego, Mount San Jacinto is the second largest mountain range in Southern California, standing at 10,834 feet above sea level. The PCT passes through this mountain and you can also access it via the aerial tram in Palm Springs. Our favorite way to experience the park is through the idyllic mountain town of Idyllwild where you can camp, shop, eat and hike!

Trails we recommend from Idyllwild are The Devil's Slide (permit required), Suicide Rock via The Climber's Trail (strenuous and very vertical 95 floor, 7 mile uphill climb to a good rock-climbing or view-gazing area), or The Ernie Maxwell Trail which is a very easy, scenic route.

Happy #GivingTuesday Wild Ones. We hope you enjoy your state parks as much as we do!

25 Best Things to Do in Greece

To See More Amazing Things to do in Greece Click Here

Traveling through Greece is an experience everyone should have. The entire country is spectacularly beautiful, from the massive cliffs of Meteori in the north with ancient Orthodox churches perched on high to the Peloponnesus peninsula covered with orange groves to the absolutely spectacular islands scattered throughout the Aegean Sea like so many colorful pearls. If nature is not enough, there are thousands of years of history and civilization that left behind entire cities and magnificent temples such as the Acropolis. Photo: sognolucido/Fotolia

»Elia Beach Elia Beach

Elia is one of the biggest sandy beaches on Mykonos Island; it is well managed and known for being gay-friendly. You will notice the rainbow flag at the right side of the beach as you face the sea. Especially popular is the area between the flag and water sports rental shops. That is also the part of the beach with the best sand, both outside and inside the water. Towards the end of the beach, beyond the rainbow flag and beyond the rocky outcrop, is an almost entirely gay beach.

Farther behind is a smaller sandy cove. The beach is well equipped with umbrellas, beach chairs, and fairly good food and drinks service. Arte and Mare Resort has a restaurant where you can order a hot meal and drinks – a runner will deliver right to your lounge chair. Elia Beach is generally quiet in the morning with people arriving around lunchtime and leaving in the evening. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: sognolucido/Fotolia

Other museum collections such as a large collection of Asian art, Islamic art, and Chinese porcelain and toys now occupy their own exhibit spaces.

The permanent collections contain more than 40,000 pieces of art from times of antiquity: the times of Roman domination and the medieval Byzantine period until the establishment of the modern Greek state. Some parts of the museum's collections have travelled all over the world thanks to the partnership with the Smithsonian Institution.

With rugged mountains, ancient olive groves, sparkling white sandy beaches, and an incredibly clear blue sea, Corfu is one of the most beautiful Greek islands and certainly one of the most popular. Coveted for centuries for its location in the Ionian Sea and at times under British, Venetian, and French control, Corfu shows its mixed heritage and cultural influences in architecture and art.

It is cosmopolitan and has some of the most lavish resorts in the area. You will find plenty of vivacious towns such as Paleokastritsa, Kassiopi, Sidari, and Acharavi. The Old Town Corfu is declared a UNESCO Heritage Cite and is a delightful mix of influences with two enormous Venetian fortresses, lovely narrow medieval lanes, an ornate French-style arcade, and the spectacular grand Palace of St. Michael and St. George. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: lukaszimilena/Fotolia

»Things to Do in Greece: Delphi Theatre Things to Do in Greece: Delphi Theatre

If you are lucky to visit Delphi in the summer and go to the theatre to listen to a concert or watch a play, it will thrill you to think that people have been sitting in the same seats, row after a row, since the 4th century B.C. Made of beautiful Mount Parnassus limestone, the theatre has been wonderfully preserved and offers a spectacular view of the entire Delphi sanctuary where the ancient Oracle offered advice to the Greeks on their affairs.

The surrounding olive groves are equally beautiful. Restored and added to many times, the theatre could seat more than 5000 people in its time. On the same hill a little lower is another important Greek archeological treasure, the Temple of Apollo. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: Nedelia/Fotolia

The largest island of the Greek Ionian Sea, Kefalonia is lush and green. Pine, cypress, and ancient olive trees cover the slopes of Mt. Ainos, while lush vineyards grow plump grapes at the mountain base, producing a popular Robola wine.

The beaches all around the island are wonderful, with soft bright white sand and clear blue-green waters that hide a mesmerizing underwater world perfect for snorkeling or diving. Look for rare sea turtles that take refuge in Kefalonia waters or playful monk seals. You can sit on the beach or explore medieval villages, castles, and monasteries, stopping on your way in small village taverns to sample typical Kefalonia delicacies. Try to find the time to visit the cave lake of Melissani, a spectacular and almost unearthly site. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: adisa/Fotolia

Located in the vast Naoussa Bay, Kolimbithres is one of the most beautiful and famous beaches on Paros Island. The beach has huge granite blocks formed into strange smooth shapes by centuries of sea and wind erosion. The beach is made of many small sandy coves that lay one after another, so at times you get the illusion that you have your own private beach.

Some of the beaches have water sports, umbrellas, and sun bed rental facilities. On the way to the beach along the road, you can find several taverns and beach bars. The beach can be reached by car, bus, or by small fishing boats from Naoussa Port. On the hill overlooking Kolymbithres beach is an archeological site with the remains of the Mycenaean Acropolis from the 13th century BC. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: jsk12/Fotolia

»Kos Kos

One of the largest of the Dodecanese islands, Kos is a popular tourist destination in the south-eastern Aegean Sea not far from the Turkish coast. While tourists are attracted by some of the most beautiful of all the Greek beaches, the island is a fascinating mix of massive crags, lush valleys covered with wildflowers, ancient olive groves, and remnants of antique monument such as Odeon, gymnasium, Asclepeion, and many others that, often unguarded and ignored, poke through the wilderness.

Kos is a lively tourist spot with great hotels, a famous bar street, and busy harbor. It also has a massive medieval castle standing guard over it as well as a fascinating archeological zone with precious ancient artifacts. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: Alexander/Fotolia

»Lindos Lindos

Lindos is an incredibly charming medieval village on the island of Rhodes in the Dodecanese islands, an important archaeological site, a popular tourist destination, and one of Greek's national treasures. It is one of those rare places where no large hotels are allowed, and the narrow cobblestoned streets are traffic-free. The entire village is full of whitewashed houses that resemble sugar cubes clinging to the sides of the hill, with the massive ancient Lindos Acropolis at its top.

Some of the most important parts of Acropolis are the Doric Temple of Athena, the relief of a Rhodian Trireme, the Propylaea of the Sanctuary, Castle of the Knights of St John, the Greek Orthodox Church of St John, and a second century Hellenistic staircase. Among the medieval walls there are narrow lanes with taverns, bars, and restaurants, many set on the rooftop gardens. A fascinating mix of Roman, Italian, Turkish, and Byzantine influence is evident everywhere in the Lindos. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: r_andrei/Fotolia

Far from the sea at the northern end of Greece near the town of Kalambaka is a very different Greece. Massive vertical cliffs of Meteora soar 1200 feet into the sky, representing humans' attempt to reach the Divine. On top of the high cliffs are Christian Orthodox monasteries built between 14th and 16th centuries by monks who lived in the local caves as hermits for centuries. Of twenty-four austere monasteries, only four survived the ravages of nature and still serve their purpose to the monks, who want to live in perfect isolation, peace, and harmony and hope for spiritual elevation.

This is becoming increasingly difficult with the influx of tourists taking bus and train tours, but monks are invariably patient and welcoming. The visits become much more than just another tour – they are almost a kind of pilgrimage regardless of visitors' faith. Tourists cannot reach all monasteries, but those that can be visited inspire awe and immense respect for people who built such incredible structures and continue to live in simplicity and dignity. One way of really enjoying the whole Meteora complex is by taking a hiking tour that is strenuous and not for the faint of heart, but it is an absolutely spectacular experience. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: Iakov Kalinin/Fotolia

»Mount Athos Mount Athos

Located on the easternmost peninsula of Chalcidice in the Aegean Sea in northern Greece, Mount Athos has been the spiritual heart of the Christian Orthodox church since 1054, enjoying an autonomous statute since its formation until today. The Holy Mountain, now home to about 1400 monks, is forbidden to women and children. It is also recognized as an artistic site, and its school of painting widely influenced the history of Orthodox art as far as Russia. The whole mountain is densely covered by lush Mediterranean forest with small farms in between, and they are regularly farmed by monks.

The monasteries of Athos, works of art in and of themselves with their unique architecture, are also immensely rich conservatories of art masterpieces with 1290 wall paintings by Manuel Panselinos and 1560 painting by Frangos and priceless portable icons, embroideries, gold pieces, and illuminated manuscripts. Unfortunately, only monks are allowed to visit Mount Athos. Some men can visit with a special permit, while women and children have to be satisfied by cruising around and taking in the spectacular landscapes of nature and architecture living in harmony. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: Sergii Figurnyi/Fotolia

Mykonos is a lovely Greek island in the Cyclades that is now a glamorous tourist destination with cruise ships, gay communities, and tourists looking for an enjoyable outing. With its rich history and fascinating mythology, Mykonos has had its ups and downs. Many armies have occupied and fought over it many times, until it became one of the poorest areas in the region until tourists discovered its magnificent beaches and charming towns.

Originally, it was discovered by artists always on the lookout for scenic and beautiful scenery. The gay community later came in search of the secluded coves, excellent restaurants, and hip hotels. The cruise ships stop in the area year round, even when everyone else leaves and sharp winds start blowing. At times, up to 15,000 people come to visit Mykonos' quaint shops and taverns. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: lukaszimilena/Fotolia

Easily accessible by the road, the beach is often busy with visitors who do not mind the steep walk down the hill and want to appreciate the magnificent views that stretch all the way to the horizon. Most of the beach is well equipped with lounge chairs and umbrellas, and a charming little bar offering refreshments.

Founded at the end of the 19th century to protect antiquities discovered all over Greece, the National Archaeological Museum of Athens is one of the most important world museums devoted to ancient Greek art and the largest museum of archeology in Greece. The original purpose of the museum was to protect and showcase the finds from the excavations in and around Athens conducted in 19th century, but the museum grew to become the country's main archaeological museum with more than 11,000 exhibits.

The exhibits provide a wide panorama of Greek civilization from Prehistory to Late Antiquity. The museum is housed in a huge 19th century neoclassical building designed by L. Lange.

Located in downtown Athens, the National Art Gallery and Alexandros Soutzos Museum was established in 1878 in its original form with a small collection of 117 paintings from Athens University. In 1896, art lover and jurist Alexandros Soutzos gifted his estate and entire art collection to the Government of Greece with the goal of creating a major national art museum. The museum opened its doors in 1900.

It has changed its form and location several times and has existed in its present form since 1976. With more than 9,500 paintings, engravings, and sculptures, it is today the most important Greek art institution focused on the history of important Greek and Western European art. Greek art covers eras from the 14th to the 20th century – from post-Byzantine times to modern Greece. Of European art, the most significant is the collection of Renaissance art.

Located on the Acropolis, a hill overlooking the city of Athens that is now very much a part of it, the Parthenon is one of the most famous and recognizable monuments in the world and the symbol of Greece. The Parthenon of today is what is left of the magnificent temple to the Greek goddess Athena, the patron of the City of Athens.

The Parthenon was designed in the Doric style by the famous sculptor Phidias at the order of the founder of Athens politician Pericles, who was accredited with starting what is known as the "Golden Age of Greece." The temple was completed in 438 BCE, and its architectural style with huge Doric pillars has had an influence on significant public buildings all over the world ever since. Most of the treasures from the Acropolis were taken by Lord Elgin and taken to England, where they are displayed in the British Museum. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: tanyaeroko/Fotolia

»Things to Do in Greece: Samaria Gorge Things to Do in Greece: Samaria Gorge

Located on the island of Crete in the White Mountains, the gorge of Samaria is part of the National park of Samaria established in 1962 and the Biosphere Reserve. A fairly small river that runs between the White Mountains and Mt. Volakias formed it. The gorge is closed to visitors during the winter rainy months when it sometimes fills with fast running water. This spectacular gorge is a very popular tourist destination, and it gets very crowded at times even though it takes up to seven hours to cross it and requires a certain level of fitness.

The gorge is 16 km long, starting at 1230 meters altitude, and it takes you down to the coast of the Libyan Sea in the village of Agia Roumeli. The most interesting part of the gorge is the narrow stretch called the Gates or Iron Gates where the gorge narrows to only four meters, soaring to a height of 980 feet. The gorge is a refuge for the rare Cretan goat kri-kri, which lives only in the park and a small island off the shore of Agia Marina. The gorge is home to several other rare and endemic species and many species of Mediterranean flowers and birds.

Santorini has it all: spectacular rugged landscape with multicolored cliffs that drop 300 feet almost vertically into the dark blue sea, 4000 years old history with ancient ruins on every step, and the legend of Atlantis lost at the bottom of the sea, serene vineyards that produce fantastic wines, picturesque villages with typical white houses, and spectacular beaches where smooth lava pebbles come in a rainbow of colors.

The island has a crescent shape after one of the world's biggest volcano eruptions of all times. Exceedingly popular with visitors, Santorini has something for everyone. Its timeless beauty has attracted artists for centuries, and many of them made it their home. Stroll through the narrow, steep streets of the lovely towns of Fira and Oia (which cling to steep cliffs), visit galleries, taverns, and bars, or hike the rugged hills and enjoy the view all the way to Turkey and another continent across the water. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: science photo/Fotolia

»What to Do in Greece: Santorini Red Beach What to Do in Greece: Santorini Red Beach

Santorini's volcanic origin resulted in many truly spectacular beaches on the island, but Red Beach stands out. Located just steps from ancient Akrotiri, this small beach attracts huge crowds, although accessing it requires a bit of hike down the steep slope. Some people prefer to avoid the crowds and just stay on the headland to enjoy the view of the colorful cliffs that erode into millions of colorful red, black, and gray pebbles that make Red Beach so popular.

If you do not want to hike, you can hire a boat from the Akrotiri port. The beach is well organized and offers visitors umbrellas and lounge chairs. The colorful rocks are also under water, so snorkeling is a fantastic pastime. Some people go diving in search of the legendary Atlantis that is said to have vanished in the volcanic caldera just off Santorini coast. 25 Best Things to Do in Greece - Photo: smallredgirl/Fotolia

»Things to See in Greece: The Temple of Poseidon Things to See in Greece: The Temple of Poseidon

Perched high up on top of Sounion hill and sacred since prehistoric times is the temple of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, forever watching over the cobalt blue waters of the Aegean. Sounion Hill stands at the southernmost point of Attica, which is a short drive from Athens and is rich in myths and legends. According to one, King Aegeus drowned himself in the waters below Sounions, and another says King Menelaus and his ship dropped anchor there on their way from Troy.

The magnificent temple built in the fifth century BCE was part of an ambitious building campaign of Athens' administrator Perikles. The same architect who designed Hephaisetion in Agora probably designed this temple as well. Decorative sculptures made of marble from Paros Island depict Theseus and battles between Giants and Centaurs. Poseidon's temple was built at the site of a much older sacred location of the Bronze Age, but not much is left of it. Watching the sunset from the hill between massive Doric columns always makes for a memorable experience.
