Athens & the Peloponnese Holidays
Athens and its surrounding regions are saturated with antiquity. An area of complete timelessness, just one visit can transport you back to the rich culture of Ancient Greek civilisation, while to the west, the hilltop villages of the Peloponnese epitomise the authentic Greece of the past.
Birthplace of western civilisation and packed with history and culture, today Athens provides the perfect combination of antiquity and modernity. The city streets themselves are a veritable museum, and sights such as the Acropolis with its iconic Parthenon will allow you to step back in time and discover Athens' incredible past.
To the west of Athens lies the Peloponnese, a unique region known for its charming authentic villages, stunning coastline and its plethora of Ancient Greek monuments. You'll be taken back through time as you step off the beaten track and discover Byzantine fortresses, churches and ancient monuments such as Epidavros or Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games.
"Athens is one of the world’s oldest cities and it is filled with archaeological treasures. The Acropolis and Parthenon are a must for first-time visitors, but the city is filled with ancient Greek and Roman ruins you won't want to miss!"
