Athens Courses

Athens is the largest city in Greece, a classical city full of Classical, Hellenistic, Byzantine, and Modern monuments. Athens is the Center of all the Centers in the world. Athens is the city of the Olympic Idea, the birth place of Democracy, the city of Artists with the Parthenon in Acropolis of all and for all. Athens is beautiful and always smiling. You can find Athens smile everywhere: in an ancient theater, in a modern exhibition hall, at a sports even, down by the sea, at concert, around the table in a small taverna, in a little alleyway, behind the mast of a sailboat or next to the column of an old temple.
