Do you crave traveling to an exotic city that combines all that an incredible history, awe-inspiring sites and delicious food have to offer? Then look no further than Athens, Greece. This capital city is thousands of years old and is home to the first recorded Olympic games along with famous historians and philosophers like Thucydides and Socrates.
During your time here, you should consider staying, eat and visiting the following places:
Hotel King George Place – 3 Vassileos Georgiou A St
This five-star hotel was not only named the best hotel in Greece by Leading Hotels in the World, it's also made Conde Nast Traveler's 100 Top European Hotels and Travel + Leisure Magazine's 500 World's Best Hotels list.
Elaias Gi – Olybionikon 4
When dining at this restaurant, not only will you eat authentic Greek cuisine, you'll also enjoy a world-class location. Elaias Gi is situated on a hill so you'll get a fabulous view of Attica, the historical region of the country. The aubergine salad with feta and unbelievable wine selection help set this eatery apart from others in Athens.
Benaki Museum – Koumpari 1
This museum was established in 1930 by Athenian aristocrat Antonis Benakis, and all the paintings and sculptures are housed in the family mansion in the downtown part of the city. Here, you'll see everything from prehistoric to modern art.
Because you may be jet lagged after arriving in Athens, don't trouble yourself trying to rent a car. Instead, enjoy the drive from the airport to your hotel in a luxury sedan driven by one of Hermes Worldwide's experienced chauffeurs.
