Take a citytrip to Athens

Athens is the oldest city in Europe, but at the same time very modern! I enjoy the relaxed life and delicious food here.

Athens is Europe's oldest city and at the same time a bustling metropolis. With over three hundred days of sunshine a year, it is the ideal year-round city break destination. During the day, you walk past impressive remnants of history, from ancient temples to stately neoclassical buildings, through winding streets and past street art. Shop with artists in the Psiri district, eat at a taverna in the Kerameikos district, in the evening sit on a roof terrace in Monastiraki and if you want to party, head to Gazi. Because the Greeks can party like no other!
