The most complete information guide about Athens, Greece
What to see
in Athens?
When
it comes to Athens, this no doubt is the most asked question
by first time visitors to the cradle of democracy. As easy as
it is to ask the question, as difficult is its answer. A lot
depends on a number of factors:
How
long do you intent staying in Athens?
What
time of the year do you want to visit Athens?
What
do you expect of your visit to Athens?
Is
it a cultural, historical or just a relaxing visit you are
planning?
Or maybe a mix of all?
Are
you on your own, with a partner, a group?
Are
you travelling with children?
Do
you intend to go shopping?
Does
wining and dining and green covered terraces appeal to you?
As
you can see, only you can answer these questions. Therefore,
there is no way for the Athens Info Guide to give you the perfect
answer to the question "What to see in Athens?". It
is clear that visiting the Acropolis by yourself or with a group
of 25 people is quite different.
As
the Athens Info Guide cannot know your preferences and priorities,
we will give you a detailed overview and let you chose what
to see. You are invited to
us e-mail with your questions and problems. Our team will do its utmost
best to help you. Whatever your selection may be, we hope you
will enjoy our virtual tour.
