Athens, land of history and the Gods

The birthplace of Democracy. The cradle of western civilization. Traces of ancient Greek classical beauty and grandeur all around.  The site of Acropolis and it's crown jewel, the  ever famous Parthenon temple. The one and only Socrates and his philosophical conversations. And now, behold, mythology takes the stage! Athena, Goddess of wisdom faces Poseidon, God of the sea for supremacy. Who will win?  An epic battle  between Spartans and countless enemies.  The prize?  Freedom or  total destruction for all the western world!  A run to the death, the Marathon run. The Olympic games.  The search for the legendary land of Atlantis. The labors of Hercules, the greatest hero that ever lived. Medieval churches, remnants of a near fantastical medieval kingdom, now lost in time.

What all these share in common?

Why, Athens of course!  Welcome to my city!

Athens is generally considered the birthplace of Western civilization. Concepts such as democracy and freedom, drama, philosophy and the classical arts, agreed to have provided the foundations of the western world, emerged right here. And the history and culture do not end here. Boasting  a history of over 5000 years, Athens is filled with ancient buildings and monuments, cropping up beside modern sidewalks and hidden behind every corner. It is not just about ancient ruins though. The city today is a bustling metropolis  offering countless opportunities to engage in its vibrant culture and modern charm. From lively bazaars for your shopping, to delicious Greek food and roof gardens offering panoramic views of the lit up Acropolis, the options are never ending!
