Adventures in Athens

Athens is of course the famous backdrop for all of the wonderful Greek legends we are familiar with from school history lessons, but as well as holding a specific charm, this is a city that is likely and welcoming to tourists. With a charming mixture of ancient and modern architecture Athens is an extensive maze of a city that still manages to be a great place for tourists to visit (just make sure you bring a map!). With so many things to see such as the Olympian Zeus, the numerous amphitheatres and the largest temple in the whole of Greece there are plenty of attractions you will be familiar with even if you didn’t realise you where! Greece has the classical appeals of any European city, with plenty of wonderful dining opportunities, tributes to history and, what may be somewhat surprising, a fantastic night life. Some of the most reputable clubs in Europe can be found in Athens, with many night clubs requiring registration to get in! Make sure you check with your hotel on how to make sure you can experience the high life night life without disappointment. If you want to enjoy an educational sun filled day time and then let loose in the hottest clubs in the country afterwards Athens is going to suit you to the ground. The modern amenities do not end there either, with Greece having some of the most high-class shopping malls in Europe complete with performers and small eateries to add to the experience. With Greece being only a three hour flight from most airports in the United Kingdom you will not have long to wait until you are living it up on the streets of Athens. Most flights become cheaper away from the peak time summer months, but if you decide to travel away from the masses you will find a lively, warm and enjoyable city.
