What makes Athens particularly exciting is its combination of ancient and modern architecture. Sightseeing opportunities are almost endless in central Athens whether you intend to spend most of your time visiting museums, viewing the famous classical monuments, exploring the old quarter of Plaka, shopping in fashionable boutiques or watching the world go by at the terrace of an elegant café. And as if this wasn't enough, a short drive from town brings you to a superb stretch of coastline.
