sights to offer including the Parthenon on the Acropolis, which serves
as a landmark of western civilization. There are also a number of Roman
and Byzantine monuments standing in Athens.
Athens
offers sunshine nearly every day, and access to beautiful beaches and
scenic islands. Modern Athens is a metropolis of activity for visitors.
From shopping to dining, there are many ways to enjoy the traditional Greek
heritage in Athens. Due to its large number of four and five star
hotels, Athens is currently the sixth most visited capital city
in all the world. Planning a visit to Athens is planning a trip
back in time to an era when gods and mystical creatures traveled the world,
and the first Olympic Games were held in the 700’s B.C.
