About Hellas...

Visit Attica, Hellas's award-winning 'hood

Ponder Athens as you explore our great and beautiful city. Walk with her philosophers, Plato and Socrates, two among many, as they discuss the benefits and failings of democratia. Then, follow your map to the Agora, where you can debate your own ideas on the foundation of democracy with the many Athenians anxiously waiting to argue democratia's merits.

Complete your day with Aristophanes' latest comedy being performed at The Theatre of Dionysos, located on the south side of the Acropolis. Dear traveler, please stay awhile, there is much to see!
