Athens travel guide

The Athens Travel Guide from The Great Hotels Organisation is free for all Athens travellers.
Travellers to Athens can enjoy a city that has been in existence for over 7000 years, the so-called cradle of western civilisation; it is a living museum, preserving its history whilst keeping pace with the rest of the world. The legacy of the Greek Olympic games is a very modern city with excellent transport connections and facilities. Not only will tourists to Athens find world famous archaeological sites but also sophisticated shopping malls with cosmopolitan boutiques and a rich supply of cafes, restaurants and very friendly locals.
