Athens, Greece

The city of Athens, which is the birthplace of philosophy, democracy, and drama, is both a modern metropolis with an urban personality and an outdoor museum with top-notch cultural heritage attractions.

Athens has long been at the forefront of culture and was named for the most charitable Greek goddess, Athena, who is the goddess of wisdom and inspiration.

Athens blends the old and current in the most elegant way, with equal parts grunge and grace! A city of paradoxes and striking contrasts, located in the nation that originated hospitality (xenia), the kindness and charity shown to those who are traveling far from home.
