Athens

Athens, a city rich in History and tradition got ready to welcome the world.
The birthplace of Socrates and Platon home of philosophy and cradle of democracy had the honour and responsibility, for the second time in modern History, to host the Olympic Games. Next to its timeless monuments like the Parthenon, the Agora and the Panathinaiko stadium, Athens has built a modern infrastructure of great architectural and technological value.
Athens today is a modern city, alive and on the go. Modern, but romantic as well, with busy streets and squares, shop windows, a riot of colours, as well as little alleys in quiet, peaceful neighbourhoods such as Plaka and Mets.
The Athens Olympic games, being an important milestone in the city's History, is a lasting legacy for Athens and Greece.
