Athens the capital and largest city of Greece, dominates the Attica periphery: as one of the world's oldest cities, its recorded history spans at least 3,000 years.
Athens is central to economic, financial, industrial, political and cultural life in Greece. It is rapidly becoming a leading business centre in the European Union. In 2008, Athens was ranked the world's 32nd-richest city in a UBS study.
Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum, Athens was also the birthplace of Socrates, Pericles, Sophocles and its many other prominent philosophers, writers and politicians of the ancient world. It is widely...
... referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th centuries BC on the rest of the then known European continent.
The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by a number of ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon on the Acropolis, widely considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains a vast variety of Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of remaining Ottoman monuments projecting the city's long history across the centuries. Landmarks of the modern era are also present, dating back to 1830, and taking in the Greek Parliament and the Athens Trilogy. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it welcomed home the 2004 Summer Olympics, with great success.
Athens has been a popular destination for travellers since antiquity. Over the past decade, the city's infrastructure and social amenities have improved, in part due to its successful bid to stage the 2004 Olympic Games. The Greek Government, aided by the EU, has funded major infrastructure projects such as the state-of-the-art Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the expansion of the Athens Metro system, and the new Attiki Odos Motorway

Area Information

The hotel is located in the most famous area of Greece: Plaka, the old town of Athens. You can visit The Acropolis by following the narrow streets of Plaka leading to the most well-known monument in the world. Crowned by the Parthenon, it stands impressively over Athens, visible from almost everywhere within the city.
From the Myrto Hotel you can start a walking tour which will take you 45 minutes but can take up to 4 hours if you allow yourself to be lured into a few detours.
The walk begins at Plateia Syntagmatos and from there you cross over Stadiou and follow Mitropoleos where you will find Nikis.
On the walk into the city you can call in to the Museum of Greek Folk Art, the Museum of the University and monuments such as the Temple of Hephaestus, the Stoa of Attalos and the Church of the Holy Apostles.
See the Flea Market, one of the most colourful areas in Athens and Pandrossou, a relic of the old Turkish bazaar. Pandrossou leads to Plateia Mitropoleos and the Athens Cathedral.
