Athens is the capital and the largest city of Greece with plenty of good hotels. Its population is more than three million people and the city is sizable, with many quarters, each of which has its own history and life. The numerous monuments, dispersed within the city, dating from ancient times until today, display its long historical course through time. Besides, it is the city that gave birth to Democracy, as well as the city of the great tragedians, Aeschylus, Euripides and Sophocles.

The choices are innumerable and its beauties are many. It is enough to mention Monasteraki and Plaka, two of the oldest, world-famous neighbourhoods, which fully preserve their traditional colour. But also the Acropolis with the Parthenon, reference points for all visitors. Athens has the advantage of being surrounded by many hills that offer some coolness to the bustling city. Lycabettus, the Philopappou hill, Tourkovounia, mount Aigaleo, are only some of them.
Beyond the center of Athens the suburbs of the city are many and each of them has its own colour. The eastern suburbs are Argyroupole, Vyronas, Kaisariane, Zographou, Agia Paraskeve and others. It’s worth visiting the monastery of Kaisariani. The northern suburbs, where as a rule live the wealthier Athenians, are Psychiko, Philothei, Chalandri, Marousi, Kephisia, Vrilessia, Palaia and Nea Penteli. The Olympic Stadium is here and it’s worth visiting the Goulandri Natural History Museum at Kephisia.
And then to the west there Peristeri, the largest Municipality of Athens, Aigaleo, Liosia, Chaidari, and to the southwest Piraeus, Nikaia, Korydallos, Keratsini and others.

Piraeus is the largest port in the Balkans; and it is washed by the Saronikos bay. It has three ports, the central port, Mikrolimano or Tourkolimano and Marina Zeas, where you will see lots of people strolling along their docks. It distances only half an hour from the center of Athens.
The central port of Piraeus is opposite the beautiful railway station, so access is easy and quick. The tempo at the port is very fast. Piraeus is always full of life with many travel agencies and shipping companies and similar activities. At dusk things are more peaceful, the port quiets until night falls and people again surge into the streets and the various stores.
For years now Piraeus has been developing into a large commercial center with taller and taller office buildings in its center that bear no resemblance to the old city. Exceptions to this rule are the quarters of Chagekyriakeio, Peiraike, Prophetes Elias, Kaminia and Palaia Kokkinia, with the old refugee houses, some of which restored, their narrow alleys and hospitable people, which are definitely much more cozy and picturesque.
From the Piraeus port leave all the coastal lines to the Greek islands, but also to ports abroad.
You will, finally, find many options as far as accommodation and entertainment are concerned, for every taste and every income.

The prefecture of Attica is one of the most important in Greece. Here are the capital of the country, Athens, and the largest port of the country, Piraeus. It borders on the prefectures of Voeotia and Corinthia and is washed by the Euboean, Saronikos and – at a small part – Corinthiakos bays.
