Athens

Athens, the capital of Greece and Attica Region, is a city with the most glorious history in the world. A city worshipped by gods and mortals alike; a magical place with a downtown area that vibrates with life from morning till night! For business or leisure, the vibe of the city can be enjoyed at its gourmet restaurants and traditional tavernas, at the myriad cafes, fancy cocktail bars, and seaside clubs, on its 15 Blue Flag beaches or at the cosmopolitan shopping districts and malls. Athens boasts more than 300 days of sunshine yearly and mild temperatures year round and is an ideal city break destination.

Visitors will have the opportunity to visit the famous Acropolis, among other famous archeological sites of the region Attica, or admire the exhibits at important museums such as the Acropolis New Museum, the National Archeological Museum, the Byzantine Museum and others. Alternatively, they can swim into the clear waters of the nearby beaches or spend the weekend on the nearby islands of the Saronic Gulf. (Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses) or go on a daily-trip excursion to nearby important destinations, such as Delphi, Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus and others.
