  • Overview You can't Edit

    Users Assigned: chinalove  
    Omonia Square is a massive, roaring roundabout whose radiating streets link the capital to its mainland provinces. Beneath its central fountains lie the central subway station and a shopping centre.

    Though the cafes and neon signs recall Piccadilly Circus or Times Square – only more grimy – Omonia, which means ‘concord’, is the most representative of all Athenian squares. It’s a focal point for Greeks visiting from the countryside, and here life surges on in the streets and the kafeneia (coffee houses) with insouciant disregard for foreign tourists.
  • What can you see and do? You can't Edit

    Users Assigned: chinalove  
    South of Omonia are the bustling city markets, where you can launch yourself into the Pandemonium of Athinas Street, a chaotic bazaar which sells every plastic trinket and household gadget imaginable. Further along, colourful fruit, vegetable and herb markets border Sophocles and Euripides Street; chickens, rabbits and wild game can be found on Armodiou; and huge, refrigerated, covered halls with long marble counters are home to the lively fish meat markets along Aiolou and Athinas.

      • Athens

        Athens is Europe's southern-most capital city and the gateway to Greece and the ancient world. Its renowned hallmark is the gleaming marble of the monuments of the Acropolis, which rise triumphantly above the city, proud survivors of the ravages of man and time.

        People have dwelt on this rock for some 5,000 years — a lineage so ancient as to make all other European cities seem young by comparison.

        Below, in the ancient Agora, or marketplace, Socrates held his dialogues, and the system of democracy e know today had its beginning, making Athens the cradle of Western civilization. It is this rich history that continues, to act as a magnet for travellers throughout the world. Modern Athens is far removed from the elegant splendour of its classical ruins.

        The sprawl of steel and concrete retches up into the surrounding hills as far as the eye can see. (Remarkably for a city of this size, there are no skyscrapers and under a dozen tall buildings.) Aesthetics have fallen by the wayside during the 20th century, for a massive influx of rural Greeks and repatriated countrymen from Turkey has made a necessity of rapid (and frenzied) growth.

        Today, metropolitan Athens, along with the adjoining city and port of Piraeus, is home to more than 4 million people, a figure that equals nearly half the population of the entire country.

        It is fitting, too, that the venerable monuments of Athens, built by the ancient citizens, should still stand in the viable heart of their descendants. Historian Thomas William Rolleston wrote: "The elements which in the most remote times have entered into nation’s composition endure through all its history, and help to mould that history, and to stamp the character and genius of the people."

        Athens has always been a world crossroads. Having dealt with invaders throughout its history, the city has coped well with the tourist bombardment of recent years (Greece receives around 10 million visitors a year!). Even those heading for the islands often spend at least a night or two in Athens, and for many, this is a destination in its own right. If the urban din gets too much, mountain villages, get- away islands and beaches are easily accessible.

        Athens, a city very much on the move, absorbs effortlessly its waves of visitors, while straining its Hellenic ingenuity for greater commercial and in industrial prominence. Yet in the end, regardless of how modern it becomes or the extent of the progress it achieves, it will always uphold the splendid heritage evoked by its very name.

        One of the oldest remaining cities on the face of the planet, Athens has stood at the center of the world for thousands of years as a leader in philosophy, history, culture, and mythology. From places such as the Acropolis—often credited as the birthplace of modern civilization—with the Parthenon, the Erectheon, and temples to Zeus, Agora, Athena, and Dionysus, to places such as the National Archeological Museum or the harbor of Piraeus, Athens is a symbol of what Europe has been over the millennia: the birthplace of the humanities. 

        Classical Athens is how most people prefer to remember the city, and it is the basis for the tourism that forms the major industry of this Greek city. It was the centre for arts, philosophy, science, math, and more. Plato’s Academy was based here, as was Aristotle’s Lyceum, and it was here that democracy was first born. In fact, many people call this the cradle of Western civilization, and the proof of that has been well-preserved over the years. In addition, the city was host to the first modern Olympic Games back in 1896, hearkening back to the times when the ancient games had been hosted in Olympia from 776 B.C. to 393 A.D.

      • Eleftheriou Venizelou

        Panepistimiou (also called Venixelou), with several 19th-century neoclassical buildings, runs parallel with Stadiou.  Either are a great way to walk from Syntagma Square to Omonia Square and catch some sights.

        The first building you’ll pass is the former home of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann (1822-90), who found the ancient palace of Troy and underneath the tombs at Mycenae. Up under roof you’ll see engraved ‘IIiou Melathron’ (palace on troy).

        Further along you’ll find the Academy of Arts, the University and the National Library. Their sculpted, gilded facades mimis the classical style. Athena and Apollo stand atop the Ionic columns at the Academy, while Socrates and Plato sit at the entrance. The Library has nearly a million books and manuscripts, including amazing hand-illuminated Gospels of the 19th and 11th centuries.

        • Very disappointing place in a heart of Athens. Dirt, thieves, bad smell. Even Christmas decorations don't help it to look better.
        • Classic Athens hub for lots of things. Be aware though, due to influx of refuges and current economic decline, this is a hot spot above and below ground, i.e. the metro, for vagrants, panhandlers, thieves, pickpockets and the occasional act of civil disobedience, like marches and demonstrations, after Syntagma Square.
        • It used to bè à charming place until years 2000.Very bad réputation nowadays. Dirty place,petty theieves and more trouble from some other People.
