Athens, Greece's capital is located at the Prefecture of Attica. Attica is an excellent and interesting place to visit. There are so many places to visit and to combine excursions to the well known historical places, activities, entertainment, shopping, beaches, cruises to the nearby islands of the Saronic Gulf.

The history of Athens dates back more then 3000 years ago when during the prehistoric times its first inhabitants created their first settlement on the rock of Acropolis. It took hundreds of years until the sacred rock of Acropolis find its glory during the golden age of Pericles 495 - 429 BC with the construction of most of its Monuments like the Parthenon by the famous architects Iktinos and Kallikrates and the Sculptor Phidias. During those thousands of years Athens went through times of Glory and times of decline . Finally became the Capital of Greece in 1834 mostly for its location and historical importance.

Todays Athens is the largest city in Greece with around 4 million people live in it and it is a cosmopolitan city than never sleeps with numerous sites to visit and beautiful beaches located at Athenian Riviera at the South West part of the city. Piraeus is the main port of Athens, just 20 minutes by metro and it is the departure point for most of the Greek Islands.

Athens, a thousand and one cities - When you climb up to the Acropolis, keep looking at the view as you stroll about. Every time you'll see another city.

A city filled with contrasts and surprises. Beautiful and varied. Every second Athens becomes a different city.

Ancient. And Byzantine. And Neoclassical. And modern. Crowded. And solitary. And always smiling.

You can find Athen's smile everywhere: in an ancient theatre, in a modern exhibition hall, at a sports event, down by the sea, high on a mountain top during a guided tour, at a concert, around the table in a tavernaki, in a garden during a posh reception, in a little alleyway, in a spacious square, behind the mast of a sailboat or next to the column of an old temple. Or somewhere near a contemporary sculpture.
Athens is always another city.
