There you can enjoy and relax , drinking a frappe (famous Greek cold instant coffee) at one of the picturesque cafe.

Make sure you don’t miss the chance to walk around the Ancient Greek Market (Agora), right where all famous ancient philosophers like Plato and Socrates used to gather with their students to talk about life, politics and ethics. Swinging around towards Athens center make sure to check out the Temple of Zeus and Andrian’s Roman Gate.

Among the things to do in Athens is to visit the change of guard in front of the parliament. Then off to the Panepistimiou street to admire some of the most emblematic buildings in Athens (academy, university , national library) designed by the well know German architect Ziller, by the way if you happen to be in Athens the next few days there is a interesting exhibition dedicated to Ziller at the national gallery, which is next to Hilton Hotel.

To consider a day complete with things to do in Athens, you must go for shopping at Kolonaki !!! International and local Chic stores, boutiques with a variety of brands like Gucci, Prada … but also the Greek Lalaounis and Zolotas, famous jewelery stores.

Athens by night !!!!

Quick shower at the hotel, off to the landmarks ! if you happen to be in Athens during summertime make it a point to catch a performance at the Herodium and a show at the Lycabettus hill, from where you will enjoy a panoramic view of the city.

Εθελοντισμός ισούται με ερασιτεχνισμό;

Ο Έλληνας έχει μια ιδιαίτερη σχέση και ερμηνεία της λέξης εθελοντισμός.

Όταν πρόκειται για εθνικό θέμα, η λέξη εθελοντισμός παίρνει τεράστιες διαστάσεις και δεν λογαριάζουμε τίποτα, ούτε τη ίδια μας την ζωή, για αυτό στον  2ΠΠ ο Churchill είπε ‘Hence you will not say that Greeks fight like heroes but that heroes fight like Greeks’. Στο πρόσφατο παρελθόν, όταν όλοι οι διεθνή κοινότητα αμφισβητούσε την δυνατότητα να διεκπεραιώσουμε τους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες, εμείς αποδείξαμε περίτρανα ότι μπορούμε είτε ως επίσημοι εθελοντές είτε ως ανεπίσημοι εθελοντές (απλοί πολίτες), ο καθένας με τον τρόπο του και την συμπεριφορά του (άσχετα αν την επόμενη μέρα γυρίσαμε στις “καλές γνωστές μας συνήθειες”).
