ATHENS

Comenius

In Greece you are at crossroads of cultures, colours and civilizations, you feel the grandeur of history and you discover the evolutionary process of thought.A country with a uniquely affluent historical past, inhabited by people gazing confidently into the future.*Walk through the olive groves, through ancient sites.*Move to clusters of sparsely inhabited islands.*Roam from beaches to rocky mountains and explore the breathtaking scenery.

Explore your senses in GREECE

Comenius

Athens is a cosmopolitan metropolis and the industrial, financial, political and cultural centre of Greece.Classical Athens was a centre for the arts and philosophy, home of Platos Academy and Aristotles Lyceum.It is widely referred to as the cradle of western civilisation and the birthplace of Democracy, due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th century BC on the rest of European continent.

The Acropolis hill (acro = edge, polis = city), so called the "Sacred Rock, is the greatest and finest sanctuary of ancient Athens.These unique masterpieces of architecture have influenced art and culture for many centuries.Acropolis of the 5th century BC is the most accurate reflection of the splendor, power and wealth of Athens at its greatest pick, the Golden Age of Pericles
