Athens
Overview:
Athens is known as the birthplace of
civilization, democracy and some of the wisest
men in ancient history. Athens today is a
cosmopolitan city with vivacious spirit set
under the enchanting Acropolis. For most
visitors, the highlight of a trip to Athens is
the stunning reminder of ancient times; the
Acropolis and Parthenon, the Panathenian
Stadium, the ancient Agora and the many
museums. However, from the bustling streets of
Plaka with its neoclassical architecture to the
port of Piraeus to the sandy shores of the
Athenian Riviera, the city of Athens has so much
more to offer. Vibrant nightlife at the famed “bouzoukia”,
exquisite sea food at a sea-side taverna,
shopping on the cobble-stoned walkways of Ermou,
Plaka and Kolonaki, wonderful beaches in
Vouliagmeni, a beautiful view of the city from
the hill-top at Lycabettus, and more are all
yours to discover in Athens.
Upgrades in the city of Athens prior to the
Olympics have added numerous luxury hotels, a
new metro system with stations doubling as
museums, and an overall facelift of the city
itself. Athens is a year round destination with
sites functioning all 12 months. Each season
has something special to experience.
