ATHENS - BEST RESTAURANTS & HIPPEST NIGHT CLUBS
Introduction
The ancient city of Athens stands for the first Olympic Games (776 B.C.). Athens let you feel the Greek mythology with its prime father Zeus, its philosophers Socrates, Pericles, Sophocles. The Peloponnesian city is a vibrant mix of the antique past and the modern presence. Forget the ancient myth's and history far beyond our grandmothers can even remember, this city is a surprisingly modern & magical metropolis with full of history to discover while you are walking from Temple of Olympian Zeus to the Acropolis or Kerameikos, the ancient cemetery of Athens. Stroll through the old town Plaka with its small narrow streets and numerous tavernas, souvenir shops and lively bars.

Former Motel reinvented into a fairytale wonderground. It feeds the need for an unpretentious and artistic music scene. Clashes of postpunk and glitteratti. Electro for the soul. Be nice to the shiny disco-elephant centre stage.

Another one of DJ Vassili's creations. A summer villa within the city! Dine open air or under a retractable roof and watch the ivy leaves spread like gossip into the VIP area. Perhaps an arrival in a SLK gets the rope to open.
