WHY GO
The Greek capital is a paradox of qualities: ancient and modern, relaxed and full of life. Athens also boasts an amazing climate and lively inhabitants. Despite initial scepticism, Athens enjoyed an Olympiad refurbishment in preparation for the 2004 Games. Although the efforts didn't quite match those of Barcelona, the capital opened a new airport, sorted out its troublesome metro system and scrubbed up the Omonoia and Waterfront districts - both now abuzz with modish bars and restaurants.
