Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years and its earliest human presence starting somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium BC. Classical Athens was a powerful city. It was a center for the arts, learning and philosophy, and the home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, largely because of its cultural and political impact on the European continent.

Athens is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery.

Voted by national geographic as the prettiest Greek island, Hydra is a hidden pearl in the Aegean sea. This tiny island has no cars, so you will have to visit it on foot, by mule or by water taxi. It has a rich naval tradition and is a popular sailing destination. In ancient times, the island was known as Hydrea, derived from the Greek word for water, a reference to the natural springs on the island. As it is surrounded by the clear turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, there are plenty of places where you can take a dip.
It has a picturesque cobble stoned harbour, hillside mansions, sparkling seas and a relaxed arty feel. With more cats than people living on the island, it is not spoiled by mass tourism yet and sticks to its origin and traditions.
