Publisher's Synopsis
Mindful of its powerful past but determined not to become a heritage theme park, Athens continues to evolve, with a new metro system, revamped museums, regenerated neighborhoods, and a revitalized arts scene. Written and researched by Athens residents, Time Out Athens takes travelers to Western civilization's most influential monuments, beautiful beaches within easy reach of town, accommodations from first-class hotels to cozy hostels, restaurants and cafés from traditional taverns to modish haunts, and beyond the city to some of Greece's many other natural and manmade glories. This second edition features new sidebars, chapter introductions, and photographs, as well as a new chapter on cultural background.
