For most Europeans, the city of Athens represents the quality of a bygone era. The glory of what Athens used to be in ancient times, the capital of Greece, the centre of European civilization of the country that gave birth to it...
But Athens dates back centuries, that have left their mark on this city's landscape and sights, that will travel you to the different eras of its life and will bring you again back to today.
As a city with many faces, Athens combines both natural and industrial landscapes, old and modern architecture, folk-traditional and contemporary regions, urban and rural lifestyle, all in a blend that will fill you with the desire to explore all these different faces.
Let the city’s old centre travel you to the τurkish era, as you smell the unique aromas of the old market. Let yourself get lost in the little picturesque paved streets that will lead you up to the hill of Acropolis.. Take long strolls along the seaside, drink some “ouzo” and enjoy the view of the deep blue waters of the Aegean. Explore the artistic-industrial part of the centre, visit the modern art galleries and festivals, and wander in the streets of this lively city that refuses to go to sleep until you do.
And if somehow you get lost among the many faces of Athens, wondering which one to choose don’t worry about it…in fact if you don’t, you will not have yet discovered the magic of the city, that lies at its very heart: the mixture of all the characteristics of Europe in one face,l the whole of Europe in one town..
