About the Greek capital
You will see the city's 'postcards' - the Parliament and Syntagma Square - hear their curious history and witness the changing of the guard. You will visit the National Garden, a natural oasis in the heart of the capital, be impressed by the variety of Greek trees and plants, and discover parrot nests. Walk along the central pedestrian shopping street and feel at the center of the world on the always crowded Monastiraki Square. I will tell you about the life and traditions of the locals: where they like to spend time, what they cook at home, how they start families, and raise children.
