About Athens

Athens is the cradle of modern western civilization, the birthplace of democracy from which much of the Western world has since evolved. Fittingly, tributes to and remnants from the golden Athenian age highlight the scenery and mingle with modern civilization. The ghosts of ancient Greece can still be seen towering above the city majestically in the revered Acropolis or in the many museums and galleries dedicated to antiquity.

The surrounding area of Attiki also holds numerous wonders from the distant past, whispers preserved in stone and marble. The modern city of Athens is a major cosmopolitan metropolis cranking at a frenetic pace with much to see, do, and eat. It’s easy to get around with an ample metro system and walkable streets, so explore to your heart’s content. Take a stroll through the historic district of Plaka or the National Gardens, peruse the street markets of Monastiraki, grab a cup of coffee at the top of Lycabettus Hill while soaking in magnificent views of the city, or grab a drink and party late into the night in one of the many bars, clubs, or cafes found throughout the city.

Perhaps most enjoyable is the sense of reflection and wonder a place such as Athens affords. There are few other places where such a wide swath of time can be glimpsed in the same breath, where civilization’s joys and sufferings speak with such timeless emphasis. A monument to modern society, Athens serves to show us all where we came from.
