      What Athens has to offer?

      The Acropolis

      Far from being withered by age, Athens has taken advantage of its rich history. The Parthenon, Propylaea, Erechtheion, and the temple of Athena Nike are all part of the city’s history. Over the centuries, more 'modern' buildings have been constructed around these ancient ruins, creating the city of Athens that we know and love today. 

      Beautiful Neighbourhoods

      Both quiet and deafening, Athens can sometimes give the impression of being quite chaotic. The Monastiraki neighbourhood, the trendy neighbourhood of Plaka and the restaurant-filled Psiri neighbourhood are all lively and colourful: just like the city itself. 

       

      The Evzones

      Another attraction is the Evzones: the Greek equivalent of the Royal Horse Guards- but less scary!

      The Peloponnese

      Extend your trip to Greece from Athens by crossing the Corinth Canal to Nafplio and its old town, then discover the ruins of Mycenae, the theatre of Epidaurus or the remains of the Panhellenic Sanctuary, where the first Olympic Games were held.
