The landmark hill of the Acropolis looms over
Greece's busy metropolis. Athens' age-old symbol, the Acropolis was built by
the Athenians during the 5th century B.C. in honor of the goddess Athena,
patron of the city. The temple complex was regarded as a citadel of the
gods, with the Parthenon standing out as the architecturally most
sophisticated temple of that period. To this day, it causes a sense of
wonder to even the most jaded visitor.

Plaka
Stretching east FROM the Agora, this lovely quarter, with winding
alleys, neo-classical buildings, white-washed, bougainvillea-framed
houses and tiny churches, is worth your exploration.
Golf
Konstantinos Karamanlis Golf Club
If the Gods of Olympus played golf then Glyfada's Golf Course would
have been their first choice. This delightful 18-hole course, Par 72,
only twenty five minutes FROM Athens, winds its way through umbrella
pines with pent-grass greens leaning towards the sea and its cooling
breezes. |
