Athens, the Eternal Metropolis

In the 5th century BC, Athens reached the pinnacle of its long and fascinating history, becoming a beacon of philosophy, democracy, theater, and the Olympic Games. The values and civilization of ancient Athens acquired universal significance, shaping the foundations of Western culture. Over the centuries, various conquerors left their mark on the city, creating a rare historical palimpsest adorned with unique and splendid monuments.
Beyond its enduring role as a symbol of democracy and ancient ideals, Athens is today a vibrant metropolis, seamlessly blending its illustrious past with a modern, dynamic energy. From the city center to the Athenian Riviera, stretching down to Cape Sounio, Athens offers an unparalleled experience that extends far beyond its ancient roots.

The Iconic Acropolis & The Historical Center
The Temple of Olympian Zeus, one of antiquity’s largest temples, stands near Hadrian’s Arch, the symbolic gateway to the city. Strolling along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, visitors pass the ancient Theatre of Dionysos, where the masterpieces of Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus, and Aristophanes were first performed.

Ascending the sacred rock of the Acropolis, one encounters some of the greatest masterpieces of worldwide architecture and art. Among them, the Parthenon, the eternal jewel of Athens, stands as a monument to the city’s glorious history and cultural achievements.
In the shadow of the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, one of the world’s finest, offers a deeper understanding of classical antiquity. A stroll through Plaka, the heart of the historical center, evokes a journey through time, while a walk to Monastiraki Square, Thissio, and Kerameikos reveals an awe-inspiring blend of archaeological sites, Byzantine churches, and neoclassical landmarks that tell the story of Athens through the ages.

The Endless Blue of the Athenian Riviera
Beyond the city center lies the breathtaking Athenian Riviera, a stunning coastline offering crystal-clear waters, lively seaside neighborhoods, and spectacular views reminiscent of a Greek island escape. From Faliro to Glyfada, Voula, and Vouliagmeni, the coastline unfolds through luxurious seaside districts and golden beaches, culminating at Cape Sounio. Here, the imposing Temple of Poseidon, perched above the Aegean, offers a mesmerizing sunset—one of the most captivating in Greece.
