The historical city “par excellence”. One of the few places in the world that can claim continuous occupation since the Neolithic Athens is today a modern city of 4.5 million inhabitants bustling with life and excitement. Visit the Acropolis, follow the steps of Pericles, Plato and Socrates in the ancient market place, the Agora, or go to one of the modern market places and take advantage of the great shopping opportunities the city has to offer. And the open cafes and the nightlife! Do not be surprised if you get stuck in traffic at 4 o’ clock in the morning!

For the culture lovers there is the Athens festival, held in the “Herodion”, the ancient theatre below the Acropolis, with music, theatre and ballet dancing performances by important Greek and international artists. Athens is also an excellent base to take some short tours to the mainland. Visit the sites of Delphi, Mycenae, Epidaurus and others, only a relatively short bus ride away.

The beginning of the history of Athens is lost in the darkness of time. But what history ignores is filled in by myth and tradition at least in what concerns the gods who had a direct relationship with the town of Athens.

In Athens memory never fades. Wherever you stand, wherever you turn, the city's long and rich history will be alive in front of you.

In the center of town are two hills, the Acropolis with the monuments from the Age of Pericles, and Lycabettus with the picturesque chapel of Ai Giorgis.

The love of the Athenians for the arts, for beauty in all things and above all for their city, expressed itself in dozens of other monuments that radiate from the Acropolis.

Here is where important festivals, events & exhibitions take place.

The heart of the modern capital , where the most important buildings connected to Greek culture and intellectual achievement, is located in & near to the Syntagma Square.

Athens today is a modern city, alive and on the go. Modern, but romantic as well, with busy streets and squares, shop windows a riot of colors, as well as little alleys in quiet, peaceful neighborhoods such as Plaka and Monastiraki.

In the countless shops, the visitor will find whatever he may need. In the tavernas and restaurants he can enjoy any taste sensation, in the night clubs, discos and bars he can drink and dance the night away. Because in Athens, the fun never stops before daylight.
