In Athens, the capital of
Greece, past, present, and future coexist in breathtaking
harmony.
The Doric columns of the
Parthenon stunningly complement the modern skyline of the
city that lies at the foot of the sacred rock of the
Acropolis. The Metro’s state-of the- art technology connects
old and new, bridging the gap between the 5th-century- B.C.
Monuments and the 21st-century
centre of commerce. The age-old and the brand new, coexist
beautifully in Europe’s oldest capital.
With thousands of years of history and mythology, Athens,
named for the olive-tree-loving Athena (goddess of wisdom),
is the natural starting point of any visit to Greece.
The Fresh Hotel offers the best location in Athens,
so it is an ideal base for visiting the city. Within one mile are a number of Athens' must-sees.
Among them, the nightlife of
the modern Psiri district, the historical and
picturesque old quarter of Plaka and the Syntagma Square which
offers some of Athens' best shopping. The Acropolis and
Parthenon are 1.5 kilometres away. Ancient Agora, Monastiraki
Flea Market, Lycabetus Hill, and the Royal Palace as well
as important museums are also not far away. |
