Athens is one of the most ancient cities in the world, which “gave birth” to modern Occidental civilization. Amazing antique ruins enrapture with its elegance rising above a modern metropolis. Athens is the city where the very History lives: the Acropolis with the Parthenon, the Theatre of Dionysus Eleuthereus, the Temple of Hephaestus – all these names satisfy the ear and make the stories of ancient Greece come to life. The history, however, is not a stumbling block for the capital of Greece, which develops offering lots of modern attractions to tourists.
