Luxury Hotels Athens - 2 Fashion House Hotel (ex Grand o Hotel)
The City of Athens is
one of the few places on earth that
can boast a history of over 5,000 years. No other place contributed so
much to
the Western civilization than Athens during its peak 2,500 years ago,
when it
was the spiritual centre of the then, known world. It was here that
such
universal values as democracy were born and flourished, where
philosophical and
political meditation that later affected the course of Western
civilization were
developed and where literature, fine arts and sciences reached an
unparalleled
acme. Modern Athens is a vibrant City with great appeal and charm,
hospitable
and exciting with many points of interest.
The Acropolis is the sacred rock
and has been the symbol of
Athens for thousands of years. On top of the hill stands the
magnificent
Parthenon, one of the greatest architectural masterpieces of all time
that was
built in the 5th century BC with magnificent views of the City. A
unique
Archeological Park surrounds the Acropolis, featuring Temples,
Theatres,
Cemeteries and the Agora, the ancient Marketplace. Famed monuments such
as the
Olympian Zeus Temple, the Keramikos Cemetery, the Hephaistos Temple,
the Attalos
Arcade, the Tower of the Winds and the Herodes Atticus Theatre can
easily be
visited.
