Ancient Athens and Evia

Evia is little known in the UK, its renowned monuments, thermal springs and tasty food making it the perfect base from which to explore. Athens was one of the most important and powerful cities in Ancient Greece, a centre for art, literature and philosophy, and the first Greek city state to develop democracy. Marvel at the abundance of temples dating from antiquity spread casually amongst the modern city.
