Athens at a Glance

Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. The sprawling city is bounded by hills which provide a refuge from the noise and commotion of the crowded city streets, offering amazing views down to Saronic Gulf. Athens is recognised as a global city because of its geo-strategic location and its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, culture, education and tourism. The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments and works of art. Athens is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. The city represents juxtaposition of ancient history and modern life which is a very rare experience and one not to be missed.
