day 1Athens (arrival)
Welcome to Athens! Upon arrival in the Greek capital, you will be met by our company representative and transferred to your hotel. Athens is the historical capital of Europe, with a long history dating from the first settlement in the Neolithic age. In the 5th Century BC (the “Golden Age of Pericles”) — the culmination of Athens’ long and fascinating history — the city’s values and civilization developed a universal significance. Over the years, a multitude of conquerors occupied Athens and built unique and splendid monuments — a rare historical palimpsest. In 1834, Athens became the capital of the Modern Greek state. In two centuries since it has become an attractive modern metropolis with unparalleled charm. You may enjoy the rest of the day to relax at leisure if you wish.
