City Travel in Greece
Although Greece is a world wide famous destination because of its idyllic islands, you should have in mind that there are modern cities, ideal for citybreaks all year round. Athens is considered as a stop-by, only because it's needed before you take a boat to the islands, but it has much more to offer and you'll need days to see the most of it.
The Greek capital has stood at the center of the world for thousand of years as a leader in philosophy, history, culture and mythology... and there are innumerable monuments to prove that. Thessaloniki as well... It's the home to the homonym Film Festival and the Internation Trade Fair and the host to many cultural events.
