The great marble masterpieces were constructed during the late 5th-century BC reign of Perikles, the Golden Age of Athens. Most were temples built to honour Athena, the city’s patron goddess. Still breathtaking for their proportion and scale, both human and majestic, the temples were adorned with magnificent, dramatic sculptures of the gods.

For 35 years the lovely park has been a wonderful host and marked the very identity of this leading deluxe hotel. Now, we thought, it is time for the hotel to host the park inside.

After the Ionian kings Athens was rigidly governed by its aristocrats through the archontate until Solon began to enact liberal reforms in 594 B.C. Solon abolished serfdom, modified the harsh laws attributed to Draco (who had governed Athens c.621 B.C.), and altered the economy and constitution to give power to all the propertied classes, thus establishing a limited democracy. His economic reforms were largely retained when Athens came under (560–511 B.C.) the rule of the tyrant Pisistratus and his sons Hippias and Hipparchus. During this period the city's economy boomed and its culture flourished. Building on the system of Solon, Cleisthenes then established a democracy for the freemen of Athens, and the city remained a democracy during most of the years of its greatness.

A hidden island in the heart of Athens! Anafiotika The great city of Athens, Greece is made up of numerous small villages that have melded together over the years. Plaka is the most ancient, original part of the city where most of the archaeological sites are located. Just up on the hill above Plaka, under the flank of the Acropolis (“the high city”) there is the tiny village of Anafiotika, so unique and so beautiful and totally different from the city. You have this amazing sense of being in a different place, on an island and you can enjoy the scenery, the beauty of it and the silence away from all he noises of the city. Plaka One of the most picturesque neighborhoods in Athens, with its narrow streets, lovely colourful neoclassical buildings, small cafes, traditional tavernas, souvenir shops and ancient ruins in almost every corner. Plaka is in the heart of the center of Athens, just under the Acropolis hill, yet has a totally different air than the rest of the city center, creating a feeling of nostalgia of the old Athens. Even though it is very commercial and popular with tourists, it is the ideal place to enjoy a nice walk, as there are plenty of things to do and see, while strolling around its small pedestrian streets.

  • 48 Hours in Athens
    City in Focus 48HOURS IN A historical city once home to the greatest civilisation known to mankind, Athens surprises visitors with its edgy vibe, rich culture, and delectable Mediterranean fare. Text Natasha Amar he ancient capital of Athens has a long and illustrious history; it has been continuously Tinhabited for no less than seven millennia, and credited with birthing democracy as we know it. But that isn’t the only contribution the Ancient Greeks made to mankind; among other inventions, they gave us theatre, philosophy, cartography, the alphabet, and the Olympics. It’s no surprise then that noth- ing quite prepares you for the rush of unmitigated awe and humility as you walk through the oldest neighbourhoods of Athens, in the footsteps of the world’s greatest civilisation, surrounded by crumbling reminders of its glory. An interesting juxtaposition to this historical character is the city’s edgy grit; a desire to be seen as a modern metropolis defined by its vibrant culture, creative communities, and entrepreneurial spirit rather than its economic crisis. On summer afternoons, young Greeks discuss politics, economics, and tech start-ups over chilled Espresso Freddos (another Greek invention) in cafes that spill onto cobbled backstreets. Here and in the city’s bustling markets, crowded squares, eclectic neighbourhoods, and around ancient temples is a taste of modern Athenian life, always lively but never rushed.
