Athens & Athenian Riviera

From rooftop cocktails beneath the Acropolis to the sun-soaked beaches of the Athenian Riviera, Athens seduces with its intoxicating mix of ancient wonders, world-class dining, stylish hotels and vibrant culture.

Both a modern city and a living museum, Athens merges past and present like nowhere else on Earth. Crowned by the Parthenon, the magnificent Acropolis stands sentinel over it all, its monuments and sanctuaries gleaming white in the midday sun before gradually taking on a golden hue as the sun begins to set. Although visible from almost everywhere in the city, some of the best views are from Filopappou Hill and from the exceptional Acropolis Museum. Other city highlights include the Theatre of Dionysos, the world’s first theatre; the
Temple of Olympian Zeus, the largest temple in all Greece; and the ancient Agora, where Socrates once expounded his philosophy.

South-east of the city lie the stylish resorts of the Athenian Riviera, the playground of celebrities in the 60s and 70s that’s now enjoying a renaissance thanks to new hotel openings
