5 Must-Visit Museums in Athens
"The gallery's collections feature the visual works of 3,000 artists - most of them Greek, with few exceptions - which are representative of the trends, foreign influences and fruitful discussions which have marked the journey of Greek art. Almost all of the Greek artists who represent milestones in Greek visual creation and contributed to the formation of 20th century modern Greek art are represented by significant works in the Gallery's collection. Among the most positive elements is a collection of engravings showcasing works by great instructors of this art form, as well as its worthy successors and new engravers."
"The new decade finds the National Gallery, with 120 years of uninterrupted operation, renewed in regard to its building and exhibits. As a contemporary art museum, it highlights the physiognomy of the culture of Greece but also the position it deserves in the world culture. The permanent exhibition of the Gallery now unfolds in 1000 paintings - out of the 20,000 kept in the warehouses - proving the great value of its rich collections."
"Here you can find paintings and sculptures by well-known Greek - and not only- painters, like El Greco, Giambattista Tiepolo or G."
"Sitting close to Syntagma Square, Athens’ most luxurious and exclusive department store is a prime location for the elite traveler. The Attica Department Store opened its doors two and half years ago, bringing to Athens a store which carries major international brands and designers, complemented by an experienced and professional management team. This iconic building, The Megaro (Mansion), has graced Athens since the 1930s, becoming a popular landmark and meeting spot."
"200 shops, the Village cinema complex, restaurants and cafés, all wrapped up in a futuristic design with a roof garden offering an amazing view. Address : Andrea Papandreou 35 , MaroussiCategory : Shopping Centres"
"When this all-day restaurant first opened in late 2018, images flooded Instagram feeds, and for good reason—the multi-storey space, decor and food are all picturesque. The brunch menu is determined by what’s in season, and currently you can get flatbread covered in minced meat, tomato and mozzarella, pancakes, and a cream-filled croissant. You can enjoy your brunch inside the jazzy interior or better yet, look for one of the café's tables across the street, at the lovely Proskopon Square."
"Visit Hans & Gretel gelateria in Monastiraki and travel to a fairy land made out of sugar!. This place is definitely an experience that combines the popular fairy tale with dessert. It is always busy as it is very popular among tourists."
"So beautiful and sweet decorations with all kind of sweets, ice cream, and waffles. If you don’t know what to taste – ask the girls in fabulous dresses. My advice: try the chimney cake with homemade ice cream and colorful topping."
