The city of Athens, the capital of Greece, endowed with a centuries old cultural heritage, captivates its visitors with its distinctive features and its unique rhythm.
With the Parthenon dominating the Acropolis (a World Heritage Site), Athens never fails to make a strong impression and captivate the hearts of its visitors!
With the weather on your side for at least 9 months a year, you can comfortably stroll along the picturesque streets of Plaka, Anafiotika, Monastiraki, Thissio, Philopappou hill, the Ancient Theater of Dionysos (the oldest theatre in the world) and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, which in the summer hosts significant theatrical performances, concerts by famous Greek and foreign singers, ballet performances and various other artistic events.
Of course, apart from its historical monuments, Athens is also a modern capital with attractive shops, for you to make your purchases. You can window shop along Ermou pedestrian street, from Monastiraki to Syntagma, or wander around the Kolonaki area for your shopping.
If you tire of walking, you can relax with a coffee or a cool drink at the various cafeterias, with their outdoor tables on the squares, or try tasty meze in the tavernas while enjoying traditional Greek ouzo, or a glass of good Greek wine.
Everyone knows that Greece is the land of the Gods and sunlight. However, it is also known for souvlaki, tzatziki, stuffed vine leaves and mousaka. So, it goes without saying that you shouldn't miss the chance to try a dinner accompanied by Greek wine and music. The ideal places this are in Psyri.
Psyri is a neighbourhood of Athens full of picturesque little traditional tavernas, offering delicious Greek food, wine and live music.
Its relaxed atmosphere makes it ideal for a relaxing evening in the city.
In addition to the antiquities, the shopping and the distinctive tastes, while in Athens, you can enjoy the sea at organized beaches with crystal clear waters and a picturesque coastline.
Healing-waters paradises, beach bars, high-end restaurants, dynamic water sports and excellent infrastructure, all make up an irresistible proposition. The Athenian Riviera (Faliro, Alimos, Voula, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Kavouri, Lagonissi, Saronida) as well as many other beaches in Attica, are all trademarks of the summer life.
However, the Attica beaches are not just for swimming in the summer. All the year round, there are beautiful café-bars and tavernas where you can enjoy your coffee, a drink or a delicious meze.
