Explore the most significant modern and ancient paths of Athens by strolling around the city that has over 4.000 years of history and discover all facts, myths – legends and secrets which you won’t be able to find in any guidebook.

Athens is the ultimate travel destination, which combines everything that the heart of each traveler’s desires. A city break in Athens during daytime offers you unforgettable memories to treasure by visiting ancient sights and landmarks.

Greek cuisine, rich in authentic flavors and aromas represents an age-old cultural unity

Dozens of scientific studies have shown the positive effect of a balanced Greek diet on a person’s health, beauty and longevity.

Despite what you may believe about Greek cuisine, it is more than just “moussaka”, “souvlaki” and the famous Greek Salad “choriatiki”.

Athens is an outdoors city, whatever the season of your visit. How could you top watching an opera, concert or play under the starlit Athenian sky? By doing it in a venue like the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, below the Acropolis, that’s how. Or settling back to a classic in one of the historic outdoor summer cinemas, some operating for more than a century. This city that never sleeps offers a great variety of night life and options for nihgt activities.

And in a city made to be walked (or run, if you’re here for the Athens Marathon in November), you’ll find unexpected pockets of greenery in and around Athens. The National Garden and Zappeion Hall deservedly stand out (perfect for a morning or afternoon run or stroll), but there is other greenery to explore. And for an amazing view of the city, Lycabettus and Philopappou hills offer an easy climb and incredible vantage points. A walk in Plaka is also a must to see area.

Athens is the shopper’s paradise. Handmade sandals, designer boutiques, and one-of-a-kind crafts. In Athens, you can shop till you drop. From farmers markets to shopping malls and cool shops hidden in arcades, here’s where to go for all your gifts and souvenirs.

Ancient and modern at the same time, the city is a modern Metropolis and the capital of Greece preserving though the grace of goddess Athens, lingering all around.

The mesmerizing and graphic Plaka was developed mostly around the ruins of Ancient Agora of Athens in an area that has been continuously inhabited since antiquity. During the years of Ottoman rule, Plaka was the known as the "Turkish quarter of Athens”, and the seat of the Turkish Voivode (Governor). During the Greek War of Independence, Plaka like the rest of Athens, was temporarily abandoned by its inhabitants because of the severe battles that took place in 1826. The area was repopulated during the first years of King Otto's rule. Plaka had a sizable Arvanite community till the late 19th century, which led some to refer to it as the Arvanite quarter of Athens. At the same period the neighborhood of Anafiotika, featuring traditional Cycladic architecture, was built by settlers from the Aegean island of Anafi. In 1884 a fire burned down a large part of the neighborhood which gave the opportunity for the archaeologists to conduct excavations in the Roman Market and Hadrian’s library.
