Athens, a unique combination of the old and the new, set up against a spectacular Mediterranean landscape; a world famous past; an exciting present: Ancient and brand new at the same time, Athens inspires and seduces its visitors, leaving its mark in their hearts and minds.

Witness the most important civilization of ancient world that flourished in Athens and relives through some of the world's most formidable edifices. Visit the trademark of Athens, the holy rock of Acropolis that dates back to the 5th BC, the famous Golden Age of Pericles. Stroll along the cobblestone, pedestrian-only path that encircles Europe’s largest Archaeological Park for a close up view of some of the world’s most significant ancient treasures including the Herodes Atticus Theatre. Rediscover the lure of the works of the ancient world and enjoy the grandeur of the sculptures of classical Greece during your visit at the marvellous Acropolis Museum, designed by Bernard Tschumi. Taste a greek coffee in the museums cafe with its panoramic view of the Acropolis and the historic hills of Athens and let your thoughts carry you away: Athens, a city worshiped by gods and people, a magical city. A city that combines uniquely its glorious past with an exciting present.

Being today the political, social, cultural, financial and commercial center of Greece, the heart of the city beats at the Syntagma Square where the Greek Parliament, Ministries, foreign embassies and several museums are located. The most exclusive hotels, the finest restaurants and luxurious department stores invite you to experience modern Athens: a vivid fascinating capital with its imposing neoclassical buildings next to old mansions, fashionable boutique stores next to design cafes. Only a few kilometres away from the metropolitan centre, a new facet of this Mediterranean city is waiting to surprise you at the Saronic gulf. It is not only the pleasant sea breeze which caresses your hair, but the luxurious yacht harbours, the impressive sandy beaches with fashionable Athenians enjoying a sunbath and fancy bar restaurants promising a night full of life in a city that never sleeps.

Thus, Athens is famous for its night life. The entertainment portfolio seems to be endless. Whether you opt for an excellent dinner with a breathtaking view on Athens and Acropolis by night or for a selection of traditional Greek „mezedes“ in a fish tavern at the harbour of Pireaus, a night in Athens is an unforgettable experience. Music, theatre and performance lovers can choose their favourites among a rich program of shows. Either you are passionate of classical or modern music, either you love to listen to jazz and latin songs or you want to „dive“ into a Greek „bouzoukia“ experience, don’t miss a performance at the ancient Herodius Theatre. If you love dancing, visit one of the famous cosmopolitan bars and clubs at the seaside with their frantic party rhythm up to sunrise.

Athens is a divine city.
