Discover Greece’s two major cities, one the former capital of a mighty empire. The Acropolis dominates the skyline of Athens and is one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the world. It truly must be seen to be believed. But it’s not all ancient history; Athens is a vibrant European capital, with the National Museum of Modern Art and the sleek parkland complex of Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre testament to its modernity. Thessaloniki is Greece’s second city and also steeped in history; the Roman Agora and Emperor Galerius’ 4th century palace are a must. For many the main attraction of Thessaloniki is its seaside location. A sunset walk along the promenade is a perfect appetiser to the incredible Mediterranean gastronomy on offer.

Athens is recognised across the world for its incredible history as the birthplace of Ancient Greece and of Western civilization, yet the city has much to offer besides its past. The buzzing and cosmopolitan atmosphere and vibrant cultural scene go hand-in-hand with ancient temples and churches, and visitors will find everything from excellent cuisine, nightlife and shopping to archaeological museums and street art. Of course, no visit to Athens would be complete without a visit to the magnificent hilltop Acropolis, the city's crowning glory.
