Discover ATHÈNES
The discovery of Athens goes beyond the exploration of its ancient past. Modern and trendy, it offers itself as an open-air canvas to street artists and is covered with colors that reveal its past. With 3,000 years of history, each museum and archaeological site is a testament to its tumultuous evolution. Surrounded by mountains, close to the sea, it strives against winds and tides to breathe clean air. Mixture of architectures, from the predominance of pentelic marble to concrete, its charm is not limited to the Parthenon. Crossroads of civilizations, it is a patron of the arts without hiding its weakness for the theater and open-air shows. Gastronomic, the art of dining here is based on the pleasure of sharing. Nocturnal, nonchalant but united in spite of its urban rhythm, one can stroll around, cultivate oneself, have fun and discover a surprising and endearing capital.
