DK Travel : Athens

Athens is simultaneously known as the Classical, marble-pillared cradle of Western civilization and as a modern urban sprawl of concrete and traffic. Between the extremes lies a kaleidoscopic city, where the influences of East and West entwine in the markets, cafés and tavernas, built upon ancient ruins and rubbing shoulders with gold-leafed Byzantine churches.

Ancient Olympia

Olympia is known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times. The sanctuary consists of an unordered arrangement of various buildings. Enclosed within the temenos are the Temple of Hera and Temple of Zeus, the Pelopion and the area of the altar, where the sacrifices were made. The hippodrome and later stadium were also to the east. To the north of the sanctuary the Prytaneion and the Philippeion can be found, as well as the array of treasuries representing the various city states. The Metroon lies to the south of these treasuries, with the Echo Stoa to the East. To the south of the sanctuary is the South Stoa and the Bouleuterion, whereas the West side houses the Palaestra, the workshop of Pheidias, the Gymnasion and the Leonidaion. Olympia is also known for the gigantic ivory and gold statue of Zeus that used to stand there, sculpted by Pheidias, which was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Antipater of Sidon.
Kuzina restaurant

A must for all foodies: Kuzina restaurant is Athens's best kept secret! Seriously delicious modern Greek food served in a stylish, buzzy restaurant.

Take a table on the pavement, inside the bar or on the charming terrace with the most beautiful view of Athens, the Acropolis and temple of Ifaistos.

Very good service - perfect for a special occasion - not cheap but still affordable.

Find it near the Acropolis in Monastraki - go early or book a table. The perfect place for a romantic evening after exploring the city. Highly recommended!
