World Heritage Sites

The following properties have been approved by the World Heritage Committee to be included on UNESCOs World Heritage List. The list currently contains 788 different properties as of July, 2004, distributed all over the world. Greece has the privilege to be home for nineteen of them. Because Kanon is specialized in cultural tours, it includes most of these magnificent sites in its itineraries.
