Great Hotels and Flights

Posted: under General Interest.
June 2nd, 2009

Many people think that the absolute highlight of a visit to a hotel ATHENS is the dazzling vestiges of the ancient, the classical Greek city, most famously represented by the Acropolis and its encompassing archeological sites. Even on a brief vacation to one of the exquisite hotels, however, it is a shame to see Athens plainly as the location of ancient sites and museums. Although the neighbourhoods may have need of the style and monuments of most European capitals, they are worth at least some travel. The old nineteenth-century quarter of Pláka, to be specific, is a delight, with its mix of Turkish, Neoclassical and Greek-island architecture, and an array of absorbing little museums devoted to traditional arts, ceramics and music. Just to its north, the bazaar area, around Athinás and Eólou, enjoys an almost Middle Eastern atmosphere in its life and trade, while the National Gardens, appropriate Kolonáki and the hill of Lykavitós offer respite from the maelstrom. Further afield, but still well within the confines of Greater Athens, are the monasteries of Kessarianí and Dhafní, the latter with Byzantine mosaics the equal of any in Greece.

Another popular hotel resort, and a place where you need to find cheap flights to is Paris, France. Now and again, Paris can feel inhumanly chivalric, the arrogance of its monuments encompassing the chilly pomp of the Panthéon, the industrial current of the Eiffel Tower and the almost spiritual glasswork of the Louvre pyramid. Yet it also operates on a very ethological scale, with exquisite, secretive little nooks tucked away from the Grands Boulevards and very definite little communities revolving around games of boules and the local boulangerie and café. And even as Paris’s culture is transformed by its large immigrant and gay populations, even as extravagant new buildings are commissioned and erected, many of the city’s streets, cafés and restaurants remain remarkably, defiantly unchanged.
