Athens: Did you know?
Athens is the ‘home’ of the Olympic Games. The Olympics is a competition that goes back centuries when it was dedicated to the Olympian gods. Athens hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896 and, depending on your point of view, either the first or second Games of the 21st Century in 2004.
Athens was the destination of Cliff Richard and pals in the hit UK film ‘Summer Holiday’.
Sights to see in Athens include the Acropolis, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Temple of Hephaestus, the new Olympic complex (built for the 2004 Olympic Games), and the Kanellopoulos Museum.
