Near-constant sunshine, sandy beaches, idyllic islands and evocative glimpses into the past are but a succulent taste of what Greece has to offer its guests. All this, which also can include a dip into the plethora of alternate forms of tourism available, can also be combined with a taste of the country's national and international cultural events, some of which are world premieres.

With a history beginning from over 5,000 years ago Athens, the capital of Greece with well over 2,500,000 inhabitants rightfully poses as a modern city with a distinctive personality. The very beginnings of democracy are more than well exhibited throughout. The Acropolis which majestically overlooks the city with the Parthenon and Erechteion; Plaka, the "Old Town" with colorful houses narrow winding alleys and tourist shops; The everbusy Syntagma square located right underneath the Greek Parliament set within a small distance from the "modern" Kolonaki square.
