Classical Athens was a powerful city-state, home of
Plato's Academy, Aristotle's Lyceum and the
birthplace of democracy and philosophy. It is widely
referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and
the heritage of the classical era is still evident today in
the city.
Athens and its periphery Attica provide overwhelming
treasures and famous attractions: well-renowned
archaeological sites like the Parthenon, plus Roman,
Byzantine and some remaining Ottoman monuments.
The city is home to two UNESCO World Heritage
Sites: the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval
Daphni Monastery.
A cosmopolitan metropolis, modern Athens is a
major, vibrant European city and an important centre
of culture, a place where history meets with comfort
and fascination. It offers modern and classical art
museums and galleries, stylish shops, fine restaurants
and bars, street markets and bazaars, open-air
cinemas, sandy beaches and 300 sun-drenched days.
