Multifaceted and inexhaustible
Throughout the centuries, the city has known various conquerors who have left their mark on monuments of exceptional splendour and charm, creating a rare historical palimpsest. In 1834, Athens was declared the capital of the modern Greek state, drawing inspiration from its classical past. In the two centuries that followed, it evolved into a modern metropolitan centre of unparalleled charm and interest.
Today, a visit to Athens offers an incomparable experience. It is a baptism into magnificent monuments and masterpieces of art from antiquity and the medieval period, as well as the architectural heritage of the 19th and 20th centuries. The stunning light generously gifted by Attica’s sky exudes a sense of comfort and upliftment. There is something magical about the natural landscape of the wider area, which combines the coastal lacework of the shores with the mountain massifs that enclose the city.
From its ancient glory and important archaeological sites to stunning neoclassical buildings, a mosaic of neighbourhoods unfolds, each with its own unique character. Exarchia, with its restless student spirit, its bookstores, and cafés. Kolonaki, with its museums and aristocratic urban ambience. Kypseli, with its theatres and intense multicultural life. The neighbourhoods surrounding the Acropolis, graced by picturesque, island-like charm. Athens is an inexhaustible, multifaceted, and vibrant city that keeps going, day and night.
