To fully experience Athens is to understand the soul of Greece: ancient monuments surviving in a sea of cement, startling beauty amid squalor, tradition and progress side by side. Take the time to explore, and you will discover pockets of incomparable charm. Athens is a mixture of Middle Eastern and Western cultures. A must see is the Parthenon and the superb statues and vases in the National Archaeological Museum. Underneath the confusion and modern clutter lies the Mediterranean warmth that can be most appealing.
