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. Athens shares these priceless life lessons with its visitors. Under the bright Aegean sun and the blue Attica sky. A city that never sleeps. Full of flavour, desire and pleasure. A city that you must visit at least once in your lifetime. Welcome to Athens.  

Naxos: Long beaches and medieval towers, lush valleys and high mountains... and delicious local produce

Welcome to the largest island in the Cyclades, Naxos. So fertile, it’s self-sufficient. Here you’ll find plenty of history, ruins from every era, a kaleidoscope of landscapes, friendly locals, and wonderful food in the most beautiful part of the Aegean.
Entering the harbor, you’re greeted by the ancient Portara – the massive marble gateway identical to the logo of the National Geographic – and the sight of the medieval castle above the town. Inland, you’ll find isolated medieval villages, untouched by time, like Tripodes, Filoti, Halki, and Apeiranthos, that invite you to explore their beauty. You’ll find Mt. Zas (another name for Zeus), green valleys, abandoned monasteries, venerable churches, and lofty towers like Bazeos Tower. Built in the 17th century, the tower functioned as a monastery of the True Cross (Timios Stavros) for decades.

Amorgos: The island of the film “Le Grand Bleu”
Did you know that the 1988 movie “Le Grand Bleu” with Jean Reno was shot on the island of Amorgos, at the south eastern edge of the Cyclades? Parts of the island reach a considerable height above sea level, offering superb views out over the Archipelago, Amorgos is one of the most impressive Cycladic islands, boasting marvellous beaches with azure waters, gorgeous caves, ideal spots for diving, scenic bays and ancient footpaths leading through its steep rocky terrain… Inhabited since the Early Cycladic Era, as indicated by archaeological finds brought to light in the area, Amorgos has a long cultural history and tradition. Step off the beaten track and visit an island that has preserved its traditional colour, where the locals welcome you with a smile on their face and make you feel at home!
