This is a legendary city, still endowed with its past splendour and crowned by the Acropolis – Athens is no less than a giant museum! This metropolis of 5 million inhabitants, bursting with life both day and night, has managed to preserve its picturesque neighbourhoods in the midst of rapid urbanisation. It is in the maze of squares and narrow alleys of Plaka and the ancient Turkish quarter of Monastiraki that the city’s warm soul can be felt, at the foot of the sacred rock of the Acropolis. Start your trip to Athens with the Acropolis: the fabulous 360 panorama over the city and its surrounding hills alone is well worth the trip.
