Athens, the cradle of democracy, philosophy and the Western civilization as we know it today, begun as a small fortified village built on top of the Acropolis rock as far back as 3.000 years B.C. Through the years, Athens became one of the most powerful city-states of the ancient world and produced the first and most influential philosophers, poets and scientists, like Plato, Sophocles, Euripides and Socrates. Athens became the symbol of freedom, thinking and art.

ATHENS is a city with a great night life, romantic walks, and many museums, such as one of the world's greatest museums The "National Archeological Museum" where you can see splendid examples of ancient works of art, from Athens and other places of Greece, or the "Byzantine Museum", the Benakis Museum" and the "Museum of Cycladic Art".
Just next to Plaka is the Monasteraki neighbourhood. Right in the feet of the Acropolis hill, in Monasteraki, you must visit the famous Flea Market. It is difficult to decide what to buy, but even more difficult is to forget the experience. The Flea Market of Athens, is the center of traditional craft and creation of original Greek art. Gold and Silver jewellery, ancient type pottery and sculpture. Fur coats, leather goods and carpets. Books, ceramics and sandals.
