ATHENS: THE CAPITAL OF CULTURE

​Paths of history, culture, and a cosmopolitan ambiance

Athens. The city that gave birth to democracy, the sciences, and fine arts is ready to reveal its secrets. Athens: the city of history and ancient civilization – the Parthenon, Acropolis, and the Ancient Agora. At the same time a modern, vibrant megalopolis, full of energy, day and night. A city belonging to humanity and Mediterranean light. This mighty city has contributed to world history and culture time and again, making itself immortal; an actor beyond the constraints of time’s usual boundaries.
Through its charisma, it is reborn again and again. Athens shares these priceless life lessons with its visitors. Under the bright Aegean sun and the blue Attica sky. Amid the graffiti that adorns its walls, and the laughter that fills its cafes. A youthful city, buzzing with life, it is confident, free, and charming. A city that never sleeps. Full of flavor, desire, and pleasure. A city that you must visit at least once in your lifetime. Welcome to Athens.  

Μykonos! The jet-setter that invites you to experience its palpable energy, perfect beaches, and pulsating nightlife.

Everyone has heard of Mykonos, the most famous island in the Aegean and the most popular destination in Greece, and in the world, for travelers of all types. Satisfy your appetite for luxury and adventure on this cosmopolitan island that provides whatever you desire! It has been attracting well-heeled Athenians and international celebrities like a magnet since 1960.

Voted the top summer holiday destination time and again for good reason: exceptional beaches, award-winning restaurants, legendary parties, expensive yachts, dreamy villas, luxury hotels, beautiful people, 5-star service. Mykonos will seduce you. Awash in its iridescent Aegean light, which it shares with neighboring Delos, you will be transformed. Put your finger on its pulse and you’ll fall hopelessly in love. 

Paros! Unrivalled natural beauty, beaches with crystal clear waters, unrivaled Byzantine footpaths connecting traditional villages, and breathtaking landscapes make Paros, one of the best-loved holiday destinations in Greece.

Parikia, the capital of Paros, is a beautiful Cycladic village with whitewashed cubic houses and impressive neoclassical mansions. A well-preserved 13th-century Venetian castle stands proudly on a hill at the center of the village offering an amazing view of Parikia. In the capital, you can also admire an important ecclesiastical monument, the 6th-century church of Panayia Ekatontapyliani, also called Katapoliani. The name “Ekatontapylianí” means the church with 100 gates (“Ekato Pyles” in Greek), one of which is a secret one! Don’t miss the chance to visit the baptistery (4th century AD), one of the best-preserved baptisteries in the Orthodox East, and the Byzantine Museum. The Parikia Byzantine Museum is housed on the ground floor of the church. Its exhibits include icons, wood-carved iconostases, and other heirlooms from various monasteries and churches on the island.
The Archaeological Museum displays exhibits from the island’s monuments (such as the Sanctuary of Asklepios and Pythios Apollonas, Delion, etc.), including part of the "Parian Chronicle”, a chronological table of the 3rd century BC with references to important events and personalities of antiquity.
The marble quarries at Marathi, where the famous Parian marble used to be extracted, were in operation from the 3rd millennium BC up to the 19th century. The mining galleries along with the remains of 19th-century industrial buildings are still preserved and can be visited!

Santorini! The power of this volcanic island creates an energy that overwhelms the senses

Santorini erupts with charm. A volcano embraced by the Aegean, this island phenomenon in the Cyclades gives its visitors a mythical experience.
Santorini – also known as Thera in Greek – is the island immortalized by poets and painters, thanks to its celebrated light, multi-colored cliffs, and picture-perfect sunsets. On this island all senses are magnified, a product of its many contrasts: black earth against whitewashed homes clinging to the cliffside, or wild volcanic sculptures against sleek Cycladic lines. 

Welcome to the Aegean, to one of the most beautiful islands in the world and one of the most popular destinations in Greece. Welcome to Santorini!
