Athens the Greek Capital
60
Ancient Greece's most famous temple "The Acropolis is certainly for
many people one of the highlights of their holiday in Greece. Acropolis
has several temples and the most important of these is the Parthenon,
which is dedicated to the goddess Athena. The ancient Greeks considered
Athena be the protector of Athens and the Parthenon, built to
commemorate his role in the city.
The site of the Acropolis also the Acropolis museum, which opened
in June 2009 and focuses on items found during the archaeological
excavation of the Acropolis. The site hosts more than 4000 separate
items and was designed by Swiss architect, Bernard Tschumi, and with
modern elements such as light-sensitive glass and art installations,
has come under fire for not staying with Doric style of the old museum.
Another controversy surrounding the museum is that the marbles, the new
museum facility cages set up for their return by the British Museum,
but it is not yet guaranteed.
A luxury vacation in Greece in need of a luxury hotel and the
Divani Caravel offers sunset near the point of view of the Acropolis is
probably the best in Athens. This luxury hotel in Greece has a rooftop
swimming pool view, where you can relax on a chaise longue Sunday and
simply watch the world go for a refreshing cocktail in hand.
For the next day of your vacation in Greece, at the head of the
region of the Agora, which is the political, administrative and
cultural center of the city. During the golden age of ancient Greece,
it is not uncommon for stall holders, the philosophers and legislators
to mingle together in this area. The site now houses the Temple of
Haephaistos which is thought to be the ancient temple preserved best in
the country. However, if you are more modern, after an experience of
luxury on your holiday to Greece and then head for lunch at the famous
restaurant Agora, which is located within this complex. The restaurant
offers traditional Greek dishes such as Moussaka and Stifado, but it is
also known for its well-mixed cocktails such as the delicious food it
offers.
After you have full food and beverage Greek copieux May you feel a
little like Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. So why not make the next
step of your vacation in Greece, a visit to the theater? Dionysus is
not only the god of wine, but also theater and agriculture and the
large size of the room to Dionysos shows clearly the degree of
importance that the ancient Greeks on forms of entertainment as
theater. It is here that the parts of Sophocles, Euripides and
Aristophanes were first shown and it would certainly be a tragedy if
you missed this incredible attraction on your holiday in Greece.
