Athens is where Democracy was born & the city where significant
men of science and philosophy lived & gave their lights to the
rest of the world. It is also one of the cities that created Greek
Civilization.
Nightlife is Great here particularly in the core. You may likewise
have a great time on one of the well-organized beaches, that are just
four km. away from Athens. Of course there are Greek shops & global
firms to make sure you will find whatsoever you please. The visitor
should go up to the rock of Acropolis to see the unparalleled architectural
structures that were built up between 447 and 438 B.C. The nation's
trademark the Parthenon as well remains firm there. |

You should visit likewise, the Parliament,
where the kings of Greece used to reside. It now houses the Greek
parliament from 1933 & it is placed at the constitution square.
The National gardens are as well very nearby. You could go up Lycabetus
hill wherever there are several restaurants, cafes & shops.
The Panathenean stadium has great meaning as the 1st modern Olympic
Games were carried there in 1896. |
| You can visit Monastiraki that is packed of little shops with
Greek artifacts, Plaka with its old neoclassical houses & narrow
streets full of little cafes & eating places, taverns &
bars. On the other hand there is the National Archaeological museum
& the National Gallery of Art. Two of the richest areas of Athens
are Ekali & Kifissia. A walk amidst the beautiful houses and
villas may be highly rewarding. Atheneans have welcomed the Metro
in their lives, which one also links with older lines to cover the
whole of Attica.
|
| The heart of Athens is beating in Syntagma Square. In which Parliament
& most of the Ministries are. But aside from the center, there
are other regions with tourist development such as Monastiraki, Kolonaki,
Lycabettus Hill & a few kilometers from the historic core Faliro,
Glyfada, Voula & Vouliagmeni, where you could have a good time
in the sea breeze. Or you may head north to Marousi, Melissia, Vrilissia
and Kifisia and smell the fresh air. |
