Scent of the city: the Must – See sights
Follow the footsteps of the Olympian Gods and Pericles's in a pilgrimage to the 5th century B.C. and " the Golden age of Athens"
Athens!! The city that has being uninterruptedly inhabited for the last 3000 years, is nowadays a sprawling metropolis of almost 5 million people. Its streets are noisy, hectic, even chaotic at times, while the ongoing financial crisis has “left its stamp” on the daily life, as it is depicted on the numerous closed stores in several locations in the center.
Still, Athens retains a very unique flair and it remains a city of keen contradictions, where ancient, medieval and modern facets blend harmoniously. Some of the worlds’ greatest scholars have named it “the cradle of Democracy”, mainly because of the political and cultural conditions that applied in the 5th century, in the Greek City- State.
A stroll along the ruins - following the steps of the Olympian Gods as well as these of glorious Generals, Great philosophers, brilliant architects and inspired sculptors or just common people- will take you on an unforgettable time-travel, from the present times to the Golden century of Pericles, the longest-lasting democratic leader during the Golden Age, 2.500 years ago.
If there is a landmark that you shouldn’t miss out, this is the Acropolis of Athens, the undisputed symbol of the emergence of Western civilization. Light is the word that comes to mind when one looks up at the sacred rock of the Acropolis. Submerged in the mystical aura of the ancient world, crowned with the impressive temple of Parthenon, the Acropolis is located on a flat-topped rock that rises 150 m (490 ft.) above sea level, covering an area of about 3 hectares (7.4 acres).
