Athens Greece.
Athens Greece is not just about the past, although it is assuredly a Mecca of sorts to those who make pilgrimage to see the ancient sites that made Athens one of the centers of culture in the ancient world.
Athens of today is history, but so much more, with a night life and entertainment that will leave you in awe, cuisine that rivals any in the world, and beaches and water sports to satisfy even the most ardent diver or sailing enthusiast.
Athens today is home to not just the ruins and temples but also to such central meeting places as Syntagma Square, which is literally the heart of Athens.
Although the ruins and ancient buildings are not all that there are in Athens, few things will move you so deeply climbing upward to the Acropolis of Athens and facing the Parthenon in the early morning light.
In spite of the climbing and walking, despite the heat and the throngs of people, simply standing there, in the face of centuries of history and culture is something that is indescribable.
Also on the Acropolis is the Porch of Maidens, nearly as famous as the site itself, where the columns, wrought as women, hold up the rooftop.
The hotels in Athens are also world class, in keeping of course with that they surround. Many Athens hotels have a rooftop terrace where they will serve you breakfast, so that the sights and sounds of Greece filter up to you as you break your fast with the strong heady coffee and light fluffy rolls that accompany it.
Most of the hotels in Athens include breakfast with your room rate, and many of them will face the Acropolis so that you can breakfast with the view of the site.Your visit to Athens should take you to the Plaka district, which is not only an area that is well liked by tourists but also by the locals, who take advantage of its night life as well as the daytime shops that offer handcrafted clothing and gifts to commemorate your visit to Athens.
Be certain, as you walk around the streets that your list of things to do in Athens includes stopping to try some of the tempting foods whose scents flow out onto the streets. Athens is one of the centers of Mediterranean cuisine.
