About Athens

Athens has a history going back more than 4,000 years. In fact it was behind the stone wall of Athens that philosophers and writers, artists and politicians gave birth to civilisation. Athens was home to Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and Pericles. The early Greeks might be long gone, but many of the monuments of this ‘golden’ age remain.

Every visitor to modern Athens still gets a glimpse of this ancient civilisation. There are so many historical sites and museums to explore and so much history to discover that a short visit to the Greek capital is never enough.
