Named after Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of war and wisdom, Athens is one of the most famous cities in the world. Greece’s capital city is best known for its historical importance and legendary landmarks such as the Acropolis. Modern Athens is a bustling, cosmopolitan city, home to over three million people. Today, the Athens metropolitan area is the dominant centre of economic, financial, industrial, cultural and political life in Greece.
Athens is a large and fascinating city, no matter how old you are. There is plenty to keep children occupied in the city, with everything from the zoo and parks to historic sights such as the Acropolis on offer.
Throughout the year, Athens celebrates many religious occasions and national holidays. On these days, shops and official and public services are either closed or have shorter working hours.
Many people say that to fully experience Athens is to understand the essence of Greece. It is home to four million people, 40 per cent of Greece’s entire population. A combination of traditional values and modern practices with a mix of Middle Eastern and Western cultures, Athens has something for every visitor. The historic sights on offer will keep you busy for several days.
The Athens Mass Transit System is one of the most modern and efficient transport schemes in Europe. A large bus fleet, the Athens Metro, a tram line connecting the southern suburbs to the city centre and the Athens Suburban Railway all constitute the as part of the transit system.
Throughout the year, apart from on festival days, normal business hours are from 09:00 to 17:00 on Monday to Friday, with some establishments closing for one hour at lunch. Many businesses close on the weekend, although most shops open on Saturdays.
I was satisfied with the facilities of the hotel, it's close to the centre, you can walk on foot to metro, breakfast was good, check-in and check-out were quick....
