ATHENS is a city of myths and monuments, impulsive gods and ancient glory. As this historic capital heralds a brand-new age, entrepreneurs, creatives, and visionaries are building the city they aspire to live in – a city of surprises, delights and inspiration.
ATHENS is a place where half the world connects. Midway between Europe, Asia, and Africa, the award-winning Athens International Airport keeps adding new airlines and destinations year after year. Getting around town is a breeze: visitors can stand at the birthplace of democracy and drama after breakfast, and feast on grilled octopus on a Greek island a little later.
With an average 300 days of sunshine a year, ATHENS is warm and welcoming. In fact, ATHENS proves that the best things in life – sun, sea, and good company – are free. The city is the only European capital with a coastline adorned with Blue Flag beaches. Less than an hour from the Acropolis people can swim, sail or surf, almost year-round.
History and culture are as ingrained in the fabric of ATHENS as marble and mortar. Visitors can walk in the open-air school where Aristotle taught philosophy or watch an ancient Greek drama in a Roman amphitheatre. Alongside the World Heritage monuments and magnificent museums is a twenty-first-century cultural powerhouse, featuring arts festivals, outdoor cinemas, and an ever-changing canvas of street art.
