Greece may be the home of Zeus and his fellow Olympians, but at first glance its bustling, traffic-ridden capital, Athens, is anything but divine. Yet here, as all over Greece, are reminders of the countrys glory from Athens Parthenon and Delphis Temple of Apollo, to the ruins on Crete of the Minóan city of Knossós, a civilisation reaching even further back into history.

Scattered throughout the calm blue waters of the Aegean are the islands, each with its own special story. Visit Zakynthos in the spring to see why it is the island of flowers, or the volcanic Santorini, where the blackness of the sand accentuates the brilliant whiteness of the villages. The serenity of islands like Skópelos contrasts with the hedonistic party islands such as Myknos and Páros where the worship of Dionysus the god of revelry continues to the beat of garage and house music.

It is easy to forget that from this fertile land of mythology, olive groves and retsina, sprang political, philosophical and artistic ideas that shaped the whole course of western civilisation. Greece today offers the traveller the comforts of modern Europe in close proximity to the stark beauty of the ancient world.
  • War Museum
    The War Museum of Athens explores the history of warfare from stone axes to heavy artillery. Other exhibits cover the classical and medieval period, the Greek War of Independence and conflicts of the 20th century. You can even climb into the cockpit of a fighter plane.
  • Dimitris Pierides Museum of Contemporary Art
    The Dimitris Pierides Museum of Contemporary Art houses over a thousand paintings, sculptures, engravings and ceramics and includes works by artists from Greece and Cyprus. It is open to the public every day and hosts many cultural activities.
  • The Agorá
    Long ago, the Agorá (or market) was the buzzing heart of ancient Athens: the focus of political, commercial, administrative and social activity, a religious and cultural centre and the seat of justice. Lowly Athenians would mingle with politicians, merchants with stall holders. Over 2000 years later, the site is unsurprisingly a confusing jumble of ruins - but it's not difficult to conjure up the life that it had.
  • Mount Athos
    Mount Athos is a holy mountain wholly devoted to monastic life. Its inhabitants are trapped in a former time and its spring flowers are stunning and colourful.
  • Monastiraki Flea Market
    Are you about to leave Athens without any gifts for those at home? Fear not. The daily Monastiraki flea market will sort you out.
