This is Athens

In Kolonaki, which is considered to be
the posh area of the centre of Athens,
you will find many shops selling high-
end brands and haute couture, modern
restaurants, bars and cafés, while it is
worthwhile to take a stroll through the
central streets with their art déco, art
nouveau and interwar period buildings.

The capital of Greece is also the
Greek capital of entertainment.
You’re looking for bars and clubs that
will be open till the following morning
even on week nights? You feel like ro-
mancing in the moonlight by a world-
wide famous monument? You can expe-
rience all that and much more while you
discover nightlife in Athens.

A great idea would also be to visit
some of Athens’ exceptional modern
architectural landmarks and cultural at-
tractions-such as the National Gallery,
the National Museum of Contemporary
Art, the Benaki Museum, and the cultur-
al centres of the Niarchos and Onassis
Foundations-because Athens is also the
epicentre of contemporary Greek culture.
