Athens, the Capital City of Greece has much to offer.  The splendour of its ancient monuments, crowned by the Acropolis, a chance to marvel at the greatness of one of the keystones of civilisation.

The changing of the Evzones (the almost clockwork guards) outside the parliament building; the almost conical Mt. Lykabettos; the citadel of Athens; and on to Plaka, the outspread old quarter with its picturesque setting for local craft shops and tavernas.

At night Plaka is a feast - of food, music and true Greek hospitality.  If it's a busy occupied holiday you're looking for, then Athens is the place to  be.  The days aren't long enough to absorb all that Athens has to offer, to enjoy all the hustle and bustle of this magnificent city.

Just a short drive out of town you will discover the Athenian coast - superb beaches stretching from Glyfada to Cape Sounion.  A  beautiful city we hope you agree.
