Athens, the official city of Greece, is the center of attraction for numerous tourists looking to explore this land of mythical gods and majestic architectural masterpieces. With a population of more than 600,000 inhabitants, Athens is the ideal place for holiday apartments in Greece. One is sure to find Athens accommodation easily in the different Athens apartments available for individuals with varying budgets.

Athens is thought of as the birthplace of democracy, owing to the fact that most of the ancient philosophers lived in this region. Socrates and Sophocles lived and taught their crafts in Athens, so much so that the region became the birthplace of modern civilization.

Athens had subtropical Mediterranean weather, and the climate oscillates between hot and dry during summer and mild and wet during winter. Interestingly, Athens broke the record for the highest temperature ever recorded in a European city in 1977, when the mercury reached a sizzling 48.0 degrees Celsius. However, this was a one-time occurrence, and on average, the area is blessed with pleasant weather all year round.

There is so much to see in Athens that one would not know where to start. The majestic Parthenon, a tribute to ancient Greek civilization, comes alive every evening, bathed in a warm golden light. Then there is the Acropolis museum, which houses epic statues of mythical gods and mortals. The temple of Hephaestus is considered to be the best preserved temple, with almost all its pillars intact. This is a perfect place to take pictures with a friend or loved one as the majestic temple looms in the distance, looking every bit photogenic as the rest of the surroundings.

There are a variety of restaurants in Athens to choose from. Strofi, found in the Acropolis section of Athens on Rovertou Galli 25 offers an unforgettable rooftop view of the Acropolis as one enjoys their gourmet lunch or dinner meals. The prices are dirt cheap, and the ambience one-of-a-kind. Food choices include spinach feta sandwiches, lamb chops and grilled chicken, washed down with a beverage of choice.

Athens apartments are tastefully-furnished condos that take comfort to the next level. Athens is a city that appropriately juxtaposes the old and the new with an unmatched and impressive pizzazz.
