Athens Greece is where democracy and the inexhaustible spring of liberty were born, as it is the place where historic personalities such as Socrates, Aristotle and Plato lived and practiced Politics, Science, Art and Literature.
Another reminder of the great Greek Civilization is the famous “Acropolis and its Parthenon temple”, one of the world’s 7 wonders. The 2004 Olympic Games held in Athens managed to portray to the world that Athens other than being a traditional and historic tourist and travel destination can also be a modern & rapidly developing city. |
| Athens Greece can offer to its visitors a wide range of accommodation (Luxury Hotels & affordable quality Lodging options) and also many travel & tourism services such as ‘rent a car or bike, great shopping, a variety of gastronomic choices offering Greek and international cuisine, archaeological and cultural activities including a variety of museums, art exhibitions and galleries, excursions, sport activities(either in the city, nearby the sea or in the picturesque mountains around Athens), European Convention centers with unique congress halls, Spa / wellness/ fitness and Casinos etc. |
| As Attica (Attika, Attiki) prefecture is a large peninsula rounded by the Saronic gulf and the Aegean Sea, allows visitors to rent “Yachting & charter boards”, to enjoy nearby exotic Attica beaches, or sail from the nearby Piraeus Port to the Saronic or the Cyclades islands in Aegean sea. |
