A country to suit all tastes. Athens was my home for five months - it actually felt like home. Greece is friendly and welcoming. A country oozing beauty, its past present all around. This land’s heritage is tied up with its people and their lovely, good-natured temperament. It is thanks to my colleagues that I got to know the city of Athens and the country the way I did. They offered their advice, they showed me around and, most importantly, they were there for me from the very first moment. And now, dear reader, I have the pleasure of sharing with you through this guide all I have learned about this beautiful country. Spend your time in Athens to get lost through the little streets of Monastiraki, amongst the cafés and the folk art shops, and let the Acropolis enchant you and awaken your senses leaving you in awe. Start your day on Lycabettus Hill to enjoy a breathtaking sunrise, then finish it off with the sunset colors at the cape of Sounion. But if you want more than just the capital of the Hellenic Republic, then don’t miss out the region of Peloponnese or the inland mountains such as the natural formation in Meteora which will leave you truly speechless. When it comes to the islands, I recommend any of the islands of the Dodecanese - there is something special about each one of them. The guide “Atenas en el bolsillo” aims to help you as you are finding your way through a large country which you will definitely want to revisit. Bon voyage!

Athens, the epicentre of the World Cultural Heritage and Democracy, is the point of reference in the country. Our goal is to remain a city recognised worldwide and become one of the main tourist destinations. For visitors, Athens is a crossroads where cultures and historical traditions meet modern life in a European capital. It is an "open air museum", where visitors can easily discover the archaeological sites, walk around the classical historical monuments, the Acropolis, the Herodion, the Stoa of Attalos, the Marathon of the new Acropolis Museum, the National Archaeological Museum and modern places of interest located in the city. Places such as Piraeus Port -the country's largest port, a global travel and commerce hub-, the Argo-Saronic islands, the coastlines, the magnificent beaches -where visitors can swim and practice water sports- and many other places of special interest provide the visitors with a taste of the rest of the country. Athens can satisfy even the most demanding travellers, offering shopping, fun, unique accommodation in its hotel resorts, both for the hospitality and the organization of conferences and exhibitions. At the same time, visitors can taste the Greek cuisine, prepared with a wide variety of raw materials with high nutritional value. Our goal is Athens, our capital, along with the rest of the country, in order to provide comfort, safety and surprising experiences to our visitors, who will have the opportunity to enjoy the traditional Greek hospitality.

Attica: A unique global all year-round destination It is difficult to cover all aspects of Attica as a tourist destination in a few lines. The uniqueness of this place is mirrored by the sense of fulfilment felt by the traveller who has lived in Attica, even for a short while, spoke with the people of Attica, “disappeared” in its hidden trails and said farewell to it being certain that she/he will return at the first opportunity to experience a new landscape, a landscape that only Attica can offer: both new and old, traditional and innovative. A unique landscape in all respects. Attica is able to pleasantly surprise even the most demanding visitor who seeks unique life experiences, since it combines, in an original way, unparalleled history, culture and natural beauty. Thus, Attica is the perfect getaway not only for short breaks and business trips but for convention tourism, gastronomy, culture, water sports / sports tourism and hiking tours as well. These strong experiences are priorities of our international tourism promotion campaign and we aim to consolidate the metropolitan area of Athens as a diverse destination that offers 365 days a year a special and multi-faceted tourism product. We have been implementing the Strategic Action Plan for the Tourism Promotion of the Attica Region (2016 - 2020) in a targeted and efficient way, overcoming stereotypes and promoting all 66 Municipalities of Attica. This is an area encompassing a vast seafront up to the port of Piraeus and further to the nearby Saronic islands. Other distinct destinations include, among others, the medieval villages of Kythera and Antikythera, mysterious Eleusis, the ancient mines of Lavrion, the spas of Methana, and the environmentally-rich areas of Penteli, Hymettus and Parnitha. At the same time, the contemporary cultural scene of Attica is particularly interesting, as it...
