Greece ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 17 July 1981, and its inscribed sites predominantly reflect cultural heritage, with a smaller number recognized for mixed cultural and natural value.
Common thematic threads include ancient Greek archaeological sites (such as the Acropolis, Delphi, Olympia, Mycenae), Byzantine and medieval monuments (e.g., Thessaloniki, Mystras, Rhodes), monastic complexes in dramatic landscapes (notably Meteora and Mount Athos), and cultural landscapes exemplified by traditional village settings.
