Athens, Greece

Glenn’s return to Athens revealed a city that has masterfully evolved, blending 2,500 years of history with a modern infrastructure that makes the ancient capital welcoming and accessible to everyone. We found the true spirit of "Philoxenia" everywhere, from the historic luxury of the Hotel Grande Bretagne to the seaside serenity of the Four Seasons Astir Palace. Whether we were utilizing the new elevator to ascend the Acropolis or discovering our new favorite nightcap, Mastiha, Athens proved it is no longer just a stopover, but a sophisticated destination where the past and present meet perfectly.
