Athens is the largest city and capital of Greece. As of the 2004 Olympic Games, Athens has significantly improved its infrastructure – new airport El. Venizelos (AIA), new metro, new tram, new Suburban rail, Buses, Electric railway, Railways, highways and ferry connections. You can get around – and as if all that was not enough, the taxi in Athens is probably the cheapest taxi worldwide. The same picture is with telecommunications – land lines, mobiles, Internet. Even the Acropolis, the symbol of Athens, has been restored / maintained.
If you have a long time to come to Athens, the picture of Athens has significantly changed. I can dare say that you will be surprised.
