Présentation de l'éditeur

Basking in acclaim following the success of the 2004 Olympics, Athens has proved itself a thoroughly 21st-century city. Mindful of the immensity of its past but determined not to become a heritage theme park, the city continues to change. A new metro system, revamped museums, regenerated residential areas and newly vibrant bars, nightlife and arts scenes sit alongside a new sense of determination. A cosmopolitan Athens is emerging, an international city that nevertheless retains a strong sense of its unique identity. Written and researched by Athens residents, Time Out Athens takes you around western civilisation's most influential monuments, to beautiful beaches within easy reach of town, to restaurants and cafés - from trad tavernas to modish haunts, and beyond the city to some of Greece's other natural and man-made glories.

Biographie de l'auteur

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what’s happening in the world’s greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
