Athens

Athens is the capital of Greece and among the most culturally interesting places in the world with a 3,000-year-old history. It took its name after its protector, goddess Athena, and it marks the nascence of democracy, sciences and philosophy. Ideal for a city break offering globally admired sightseeings to visit, it includes landmarks such as Acropolis with the Temple of Parthenon, the New Acropolis Museum, the Theatre of Herodes Atticus, the Ancient and the Roman Agora that will take you back in time.

Apart from its cultural presence, Athens is a very vivid city full of activities, events and a nightlife that will satisfy all desires and tastes. It is a beautiful mix of modern and classic. Located in the center of Greece, Athens is a convenient transportation hub for the Greek islands and road trips to the mainland.

Popular Areas in Athens

Acropolis is an icon identified with this city and its point of reference; it is almost the “trademark” of Greece. Wonder around Plaka's alleys, explore the hidden treasures of Monastiraki and stop for a coffee at Thissio overlooking the ancient ruins. Listen to the whispers of history. These neighborhoods include ancient temples, ancient theaters and stadiums, public buildings and interesting museums to give you a taste of what life used to be like.

Athens has many beautiful and diverse quarters. The historical center (Syntagma-Monastiraki-Plaka) is a gem for history lovers, as it includes monuments from all periods of time, from the Classical and Roman times to the Byzantine and Neoclassical period. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes!
