Famous around the world for its ancient glories – more than 4,000 artworks in the grounds of the Acropolis alone – Athens is also a city with a wealth of contemporary art and architecture.
Unapologetically modern, the colossal concrete, glass and marble Acropolis Museum is just a stone’s throw from the Parthenon, Western civilization’s most influential building.
This juxtaposition extends to the city’s cuisine – enjoy traditional dishes with culinary history more than 4,000 years old, or savour modern Greek cuisine that’s innovative and adventurous, but equally delicious!
Just four hours from Dubai – Athens is the perfect city break from Dubai.
