Luxury Athens Holidays

Athens is a city on the move with an amazing climate and lively inhabitants; mopeds scoot around the streets at all hours and much of the city shuts down during the daily siesta. Following the Greek capital's Olympiad refurbishment - new airport, revitalised metro system and  the re-invigorated Omonia and waterfront districts – both are now abuzz with modish bars and restaurants. Brave the crowds who visit the Acropolis daily and you will not be disappointed. Meaning ‘The Sacred Rock or high city’, it is the best known Acropolis in the world and visited by some three million tourists annually who come to stand in awe of the Parthenon, the beautiful temples and the views of Athens stretched out before them. Located at the foot of the Acropolis is the Acropolis Museum, an architectural marvel which houses some of Greece's finest treasures.
