問題詳情：

With thousands of years of history and mythology in its area, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Athens―named for the olive-tree-loving Athena---is more than a concrete jungle. It’s a lovely city decorated by outdoor cafes, pedestrian streets, parks, gardens and plenty of characters. If you get into the spirit of things, you might not even notice the smoke and fog hanging overhead.

    The city is connected three sides by Mt Parnitha, Mt Pendeli and Mt Hymettos. Within Athens there are no less than eight hills, of which the Acropolis and Lykavitos are the most famous. The hills provide a peaceful rest from the noise of the city.

    Just about everything of interest to the traveler is within a small area surrounding Plateia Syntagmatos (Syntagma Square). This area is connected with the districts of Plaka to the south, Monastiraki to the west, Kolonaki to the east and Omaonia to the north.

    Plateia Syntagmatos is dominated by the old RoalPalace and is the beating heart of the business district, with luxury hotels, banks and airline offices. Plaka, nestled below the Acropolis, is the old Turkish quarter and virtually all that existed when Athens was declared the capital of independent Greece. Though Plaka is packed with tourists in high season, it’s also one of the prettiest and most atmospheric areas of the city. Monastiraki is the market district and a fascinating part of town to wander. Psiri, nearby, is full of stylish cafes and bars and makes a great place to stop for a rest of lunch. Kolonaki, a classy living area, is full of trendy boutiques, art galleries and cafes.
