ABOUT ATHENS *** |

 Athens,
city of the 2004 Olympic Games, cradle of democracy and
western civilisation...
The city of Athens is one of the few places on earth that
can boast a history of over 5,000 years. No other place
contributed so much to the Western civilisation than did
Athens during its peak time 2,500 years ago, when it was the
spiritual centre of the then known world. It was here that
such universal values as democracy were born and flourished,
where philosophical and political meditation that later
affected the course of the Western civilisation were
developed, and where literature, fine arts and sciences
reached an unparalleled acme. Modern Athens is a vibrant
city with great appeal and charm, hospitable and exciting,
with many points of interest. |

The Acropolis
Acropolis, the sacred rock, has been for thousands of
years the symbol of Athens. On top of the hill stands the
magnificent Parthenon, one of the greatest architectural
masterpieces of all times that was built in the 5th century
BC with magnificent views of the city. A unique
archeological park surrounds the Acropolis, featuring
temples, theaters, cemeteries and the ancient Agora,
commercial and decision-making centre. Illustrious monuments
such as the Olympian Zeus Temple, the Keramikos Cemetery,
the Hephaistos Temple, the Attalos Arcade, the Tower of the
Winds, the Pnyx, and the Herodes Atticus Theater, can be
visited easily.
Plaka - the old Athens town
Very popular with visitors is Plaka, the old town of
Athens, with its narrow streets, picturesque churches and
old mansions. Few other places are so cramped with historic
sites as Plaka: ancient monuments, Byzantine churches,
mosques and stately 19th century houses stand side by side.
Scattered throughout these quarters are sidewalk cafés,
taverns hidden in vine-covered backyards and numerous shops.
This lively neighbourhood is an inviting place for a
leisurely stroll day and night.
Places of interest
Athens also features several recent sites. A visit to
stately 19th -century buildings such as the Panathenaikon
Stadium, the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens,
the Zappion Hall and the Iliou Melathron Mansion should be
included in every itinerary.
For most stunning views of the city a visit to Lykavitos
Hill in central Athens will compensate the most demanding.
The hilltop with the picturesque St. George Church can be
reached either by car or by funicular.
Not to be missed is a visit to Piraeus, the port town of
Athens. Located on a peninsula near central Athens, it
features the picturesque Mikrolimano fishing harbour, the
busy commercial port as well as many shops and a Sunday flea
market.
Shopping
Athens is a city full of pleasant surprises for the
shopper who is looking for unique purchases and good
bargains. Gold and silver jewellery is a major area of
interest. The numerous jewellery shops that you can find in
the areas of Syntagma and Kolonaki carry a wide selection of
museum reproductions of ancient Greek pieces of jewellery as
well as traditional and fashionable ones.
Ermou street is the most fashionable street in Athens for
shopping. Here you can find almost everything from clothing
to jewellery .
One of Athens' most popular shopping areas is Kolonaki where
some of the trendiest boutiques in the city are found
selling clothes by top Greek designers, shoes and leather
goods, toys, antique furniture jewellery, etc.
Not to be missed is a visit to Monastiraki. The street
vendors, the various antique shops and second-hand bookshops
as well as leather and shoe shops create a unique atmosphere
that should be experienced.
