Athens

Athens is the historical capital of Europe, as from the Neolithic era until today it has never ceased to be inhabited. Throughout its long, fascinating history, the peak came in the 5th c. e.g. (the “Golden Age of Pericles”), when its values ​​and culture exceeded the geographical limits of the city and acquired universal radiance. Political thought, theater, the arts, philosophy, science, architecture and so many other versions of the human intellect have reached their epic climax in a unique, world history, time coincidence and spiritual completion.
Thus, Athens was the matrix of Western civilization, while countless Greek words and concepts such as democracy, harmony, music, mathematics, art, gastronomy, architecture, logic, love, euphoria and hundreds of others enriched many languages ​​and inspired different cultures.
Over the centuries, the city experienced various conquerors, who left their mark on monuments with special splendor and charm, creating a rare historic palimpsest. In 1834 it was declared the capital of the modern Greek state, starting from the echo of its classic past, but in the two intervening centuries it developed into a modern metropolitan center with unparalleled charm and high interest.

Today, visiting it offers a unique experience. A “journey” in the history of 6,000 years! The “baptism” in great monuments and masterpieces of art from antiquity and the medieval era, but also in the architectural heritage of the 19th and 20th century. The feeling of “warmth” and exaltation from the amazing light, which is generously diffused by the Attic sky. The magic of the natural landscape of the wider area (coastal “lacy”, coasts, mountains). The enjoyment of modern infrastructure and the special liveliness of its inhabitants.
