Athens is one of the longest standing cities to date. It is a modern Metropolis with a past rich in history and legends. Athens is the capital of Greece and has a link with all the areas of the country. Athenians love art, their city and beauty in all things; this is evident from the ‘Acropolis’. An extraordinary experience that catches the attention of visitors searching for the echoes of the ancient city that once was.

Athens is truly a cosmopolitan city, with people of different nations and traditions joining together to give the city its vibrant colours and smells and boisterous environment. It conveys a warm sense of conviviality that you can find only in Greece. It makes one of the most enduring educational family holidays that will teach children to appreciate history.

The city has numerous churches and cathedrals, monuments and historical buildings, parks and museums, too. The number of historical monuments and stone statues is staggering. But it is unfair to say that Athens is purely about ancient sites and monuments.

Athens has excellent beaches with golden sands and turquoise blue water to immerse in on a hot day. Beaches between Saronida and Anavissos are popular with windsurfers. You could hire canoes or pedal boats or play beach games like volley ball and basketball on the Vouliagmeni beach.

Soccer and basketball are two sports that all Greeks are passionate about. Legal betting takes place when there is a match going on. The two popular teams are Olympiakos (Piraeus) and Panathanaikos (Athens). Do catch the international soccer game if you happen to be in town at that time. It is a memorable experience and a truly one of the beset culture-filled luxury holidays.

Mykonos is the most famous of the Greek Cyclades Islands in the Aegean Sea.
