The capital's most important historic landmark is an entire area known as the Citadel, perched on top of Amman's highest elevation — the Jabal al-Qal'a hill. Its story dates back to as early as the Bronze Age, with various epochs bringing cultures and peoples who have all left their mark here. The Citadel's two primary attractions are the ancient Temple of Hercules (162-166 AD) and the Ummayad Palace dating back to the 8th century.

Bournemouth Pier stands as a historic testament to the town’s Victorian-era origins as a seaside resort. While there has been a pier at Bournemouth since 1856, the structure that graces the shoreline today, stretching over 304 metres, was completed in the early 20th century. It remains the central focus of the beachfront, a grand and enduring symbol of traditional British coastal leisure. Today, the pier is all about action and great views. You can fuel up with a coffee and a pasty at the entrance before heading straight for the award-winning RockReef, an indoor adventure playground where you can tackle climbing walls or take a leap of faith. For the biggest rush, launch off the tower on the PierZip, the world's first pier-to-shore zip wire, soaring right over the waves. After all that, settle in at the Key West Bar & Restaurant at the pier's end. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with fantastic food, live music, and those unbeatable panoramic sea views.

Dafnes Beach is a long, sandy public beach located about seven kilometres north of Patras city centre. A popular local escape, its clear, shallow waters and proximity to town make it ideal for a quick swim or a late-afternoon visit. You can rent an umbrella from the simple cantina or find a more secluded spot further along the shore. Recent upgrades have added free municipal sunbeds and improved parking, enhancing its appeal as a convenient and relaxed seaside option.

The Roman Odeon is a beautifully preserved 2nd-century amphitheatre in the centre of Patras. Older than its famous counterpart in Athens, it is a compact and elegant structure with all the classic elements: a marble-paved orchestra, a towering stage wall, and tiered seating. Accidentally rediscovered in the late 19th century, it was meticulously restored after WWII and now serves as a primary venue for summer concerts and festivals. You can explore the site freely and view archaeological exhibits scattered around its exterior.
