About Athens
Athens is the capital of Greece, one of the oldest European metropolises and the cradle of ancient civilisation. Above the city rises the Acropolis with the Parthenon, and below it stretch ancient sites, museums and the lively old district of Plaka. Athens combines ancient history with a lively modern metropolis within reach of the sea. For Macedonian travellers it is a city and cultural destination, reachable by flight or a longer drive. The climate is Mediterranean, with very hot summers and mild winters, so it is most pleasant to visit in spring and autumn.
