Athens
and Attica
Accommodations
in Athens
    
ATHENS. When you climb up to the hill up to the Acropolis, keep
looking at the view as you stroll about. Every time you will
see another
Athens. A city filled with contrasts and surprises. Beautiful
and varied. Every second Athens becomes a different city. Ancient.
And Byzantine. And Neoclassical. And modern. Crowed. And solitary.
And Athens isn't just the acropolis, Athens isn't only the squares
at Syntagma and Omonia. And Attica isn't only Athens. Athens
is made whole by the whole of Attica. And it is a lovely place
to
get to know.
    
So
many things await you: the majesty of Cape sounion, the quest for
luck or nature on Mt. Parnes, sophisticated surprises on the ships
at Piraeus or in its taverna's, Byzantine mosaics and gushing wine
at Dafni, history at the tombs of Marathon, the sun setting into
the Saronic Gulf, stalactites and stalagmites at Koutouki, the
ancient theatre at Rhamnous, Byzantine gardens and mystical initiation
at Kaisariani, modern life cheek by jowl with ancient memories
and monuments at Eleusis, Brauron, Amphiaraion, Thorikos. Start
getting to know Attica from its sky and mountains all the way down
to its marinas.
