Named after Athena the Goddess of Wisdom, Athens is the birthplace of western civilisation. One of the oldest cities in the world and still one of the most beautiful, it dates back over 3000 years. The ancient monuments which dominate the city provide living, breathing antiquity into your holiday. The Acropolis, one of the seven wonders of the world and the Pantheon, gleaming in white marble after thousands of years, are just two of the buildings which define the city. It's not all about Ancient Greece though and the modern bits are just as much fun - whether it's an authentic taverna meal or a night out clubbing. Set against the azure blue Mediterranean, book one of our Athens hotels and stay in a true place of discovery and adventure.
You might want to use Athens as a starting point for some island hopping and our all inclusive and cheap accommodation options for Crete hotels and Corfu hotels are just as great value.
