Best tours and things to do in Athens
Visiting the Greek capital for a day or more? These are the things you should not miss! See the most of Athens... on foot!
A useful travel guide to Hydra
Sumptuous mansions and humbler vernacular homes arrayed amphitheatrically around the marble-quayed harbour date from the 18th and 19th centuries, when Hydriot seafaring prowess brought great wealth. Despite its high-profile reputation, and the mid-day arrival of “One-Day Saronic Cruises”, the island remains endearingly time-warped.
The Museum of Prehistoric Thera
The Museum of Prehistoric Thera houses finds from the excavations at Akrotiri, conducted under the auspices of the Archaeological Society at Athens, the earlier excavations at Potamos, made by members of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens, and rescue excavations at various other sites on the island, carried out by the XXI Ephorate of Antiquities for the Cyclades and Samos, as well as objects discovered fortuitously or handed over.
Under the Spell of Greek Costume
For the second consecutive year, three dynamic bodies, the Benaki Museum, Costa Navarino and Athens International Airport, join forces for culture. Leveraging on the Benaki Museum collection of printed sources of Greek costumes from the 16th to the 20th century, donated by I.D. Koilalous, distinguished Greek and foreign contemporary creators from the world of fashion and art present works inspired by traditional Greek costumes and endorse the infinitude of greekness in fashion and aesthetics.
What about you? Do you know that Greece is primarily a mountainous country?
You have definitely heard about mount Olympus and the 12 Gods of ancient years. But do you know that Greece, apart from the famous islands, has more than 300 mountains?
