Take a citytrip to Athens

Discover the city

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 your destination if you are looking for a cultural city that has everything to make your city break unforgettable. You will find impressive vestiges of history, from ancient temples to stately neoclassical buildings. Shopping opportunities abound, from international fashion chains on Ermou to artists' shops in the Psiri district. Dine at a taverna - among the locals - in the Kerameikos district, or enjoy the street food found throughout the city. At night, enjoy the rooftop bars in Monastiraki. And if you want to step out, head to Gazi.
