| Excellent dining. |
| |
While Athens is not regarded as the
place for high cuisine, there are specialty restaurants for those
who seek them out. And it isn't just taverna food any more. French
cuisine from a cook who has earned a Michelin star? (Try Spondi) A
steak house? |
| |
Almost any meal is enhanced by the
setting, but what about exhibitions of painters with a view of the
Acropolis? (Try Le Grand Balcon in the St. George Lycabettus Hotel) |
| |
Not ready for a full meal?
How about high tea at the historic Grande Beretagne |

People in search of the finest accommodations
often go to a hotel such as the Hilton or the Intercontinental in
Athens. This is tragic waste of an opportunity as these hotels are
very similar to what you might find in any large U.S. city. There
are more authentically Greek experiences. |

The
Grande Beretagne - Where Churchill stayed in WWII. Has seen
more intrigue than most movie hotels. And it has just been updated
with a 70 million dollar refurbishing to bring it back to its former
glory. Excellent location as well. |

| Pampering at the spa. |
| |
Several resorts and luxury hotels
are offering spas with the normal amenities as well as custom programs
for the immune system, reflexology, a variety of massage techniques
and approaches drawn from Switzerland and other countries. |

| Unique experiences |
| |
Take in a play on the
slopes of the Acropolis - where theater was invented 2,500 years ago. |
| |
|
| |
|
| And of course - the best sights |
| |
The Acropolis - an icon of all of
Western Civilization. |
| |
The Agora - walk where Plato and
Aristotle walked. |

The National Museum - |
