Athens infuses its heritage with modern flair for a cultural clash of civilizations. Reigning over the city atop a rocky throne is an ancient, architectural wonder. You can spot it wherever you are: milling about markets, sitting in back-street cafés or drifting through bohemian neighbourhoods. You can’t hide from history, but you can tip your hat to the old gods, while worshipping what's new.
