3Athens, Greece
Athens offers one of Europe’s most fascinating combinations: ancient history and modern Mediterranean life.
The Acropolis dominates the city and provides an unforgettable introduction to ancient Greece. The Acropolis Museum, Ancient Agora and historic Plaka district add more depth to the experience.
But Athens is not simply an archaeological destination. Rooftop restaurants, lively neighbourhoods, contemporary galleries and Greek tavernas give the capital a distinctly modern character.
For visitors dreaming about the Greek islands, Athens can also serve as the starting point for a wider Greek adventure.
