Athens, a city rich in History and tradition is ready to welcome you.
The birthplace of Socrates and Platon, home of philosophy and cradle
of Democracy had the honour and responsibility, for the second time in
modern History, to host the Olympic Games, in 1896 and 2004.
Next to its timeless monuments like the Parthenon, the Agora and the
Panathinaiko Stadium, Athens has built a modern infrastructure of
notable architectural and technological value. Athens today is a modern city, alive and on the go.
Modern, but romantic as well, with busy streets and squares, shop windows, a riot of colours, as well
as little alleys in quiet, peaceful neighbourhoods such as Plaka and Mets.
The Athens Olympic Games, being an important milestone in the city’s History, is a lasting legacy
for Athens and Greece. |
