If you seek a quieter break from your studies, the Athens campus is also within walking distance of numerous parks(National Garden) and open spaces (Mount Lycabettus), and you are only a short bus or metro ride away from beautiful beaches and the Mediterranean Sea.
Though steeped in heritage, Athens is a modern and multicultural city with an exciting music and art scene. Annual festivals include the Athens Epidaurus Festival, Art Athina, Summer Nostos Festival, and the Athens Technopolis Jazz Festival.
Epidaurus
Epidaurus is one of the most important ancient sites in Greece. Epidaurus was a sanctuary of Asclepius, god of healing, son of Apollo. To be exact, Epidaurus was the most popular health centre of ancient times, called “The Asclepion”.
Magical Islands
Greece has many islands, with estimates ranging from somewhere around 1,200 to 6,000, depending on the minimum size to take into account. From the mainland you can reach many of them allowing to turn, your week-ends into a magical adventure.
The Aegean Sea
In Greek mythologie, Aegeus was an archaic figure in the founding myth of Athens. The “goat-man” who gave his name to the Aegean sea was, next to Poseidon, the father of Theseus the founder of Athenian institutions and one of the King of Athens.
The City of Athens
The heritage of the Classical Era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments, and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon, considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of Ottoman monuments, while its historical urban core features elements of continuity through its millennia of history. Athens is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery.
