From the ancient world to the terminally
hip, no other place on Earth offers such an extreme range of historic
and contemporary attractions. Sure, there may be some older ruins elsewhere
but none of them can be found in such a beautiful, up-to-date metropolis.
Athens presents this powerful combination of old and new in a compact
city where you can see everything by just walking around.
Athens is considered to be the birthplace
of Western culture, for many of civilization’s intellectual movements
originated there, like democracy, philosophy, architecture, geometry,
history, and artistic realism — so your visit can be a learning
experience along with being lots of fun.
