Europe > Greece

Greece Athens may be the oldest European city, but its atmosphere is youthful and upbeat. With thousands of years' worth of history, a collection of the world's most iconic ruins and a lively cosmopolitan center, this is a destination that belongs on any traveler's itinerary. The sites, shops and hotels of Athens have been revitalized in the past decade, and the worn-out clichés of this city as crowded and polluted have faded into history.
The historic core of Athens is in Plaka, on the same hillside as the Acropolis. Plaka, together with Thissio and the market district of Monastiraki, has been inhabited for 5,000 years. Athens hotels in this area are at the center of world history, and there's no better place to be stationed if you want to be immersed in the city's – and indeed, western civilization's – past. Whether exploring the Parthenon, escaping to southern beaches or sipping a cocktail from a rooftop lounge of a five-star Athens hotel, visitors are sure to go home with more than a few lasting memories.
