The hustle & bustle of the capital of Greece, Athens is something not to be missed. Visit the momentous Acropolis/Parthenon which stands in the centre of the city, providing incredible views of Athens & surrounds. There are an extraordinary number of historic tourist sights in Athens and many of these are known world-wide. Experience the history of the Olympics past & present. Plenty of time can be spent in the Plaka (the old town), traditional area for dinning and socialising with something for everyone & the shopping is endless. The city of Athens has mild winters and hot summers and is worth a visit whatever time of the year. One of the best ways to enjoy this city in the summer is to follow the example of locals in Athens - get up early, have a busy morning (probably visiting some of the many superb sights), then enjoy a long, pleasant sleep through the heat of the day and live it up at night. The nightlife is excellent and there are many superb restaurants, cafés, bars and entertainment in and around the centre of Athens. Athens is without doubt the one of the main centres for shopping in Greece, you can also admire the wonderful Athens monuments, statues and fountains as you explore the streets for some serious Athens shopping.
