Greece Athens
Athens Zoo
I know I’m still a kid although my age won’t exactly confirm that. Every single time we visit a new big city we have to see the Zoo (provided there’s something interesting to see there, of course).
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Athens Zoo (or by its official name Attica Zoological Park) caught our eyes. Athens Zoo is privately owned and is located near the Spata airport.
History
A relatively new Zoo (opened since 2000), it’s home to the 3rd largest bird collection in the world. In April 2001, the “World of Reptiles” section was opened and in 2002 the “Greek Fauna” section was revealed to the public.

A weekend in Athens
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the writer of Greece Travel Guide is planning a vacation in…Greece. And what do we do when we plan our vacations? Research!
Athens is the birth place of civilization and one of those cities which should be visited at least once in a lifetime. With that in mind, I set out to create an itinerary for a weekend in Athens.
And my research took me to a rather interesting article: The New York Time’s 36 Hours in Athens, Greece . Poking my nose in other fellow writers’ article is not only fun (I have to check out the competition, right?) but also very informative.

Classic Greece Adventure Trip Review
When you are planning your first visit to Greece it’s very difficult to create an itinerary to comprise at least the most important aspects of the Greek civilization. The Classic Greece Adventure Trip manages to combine, in a very interesting way, visits to the most important historical sites in the Peloponnese region with the magical feel of the capital and its nightlife.
Cities and sites
During only nine days you get to visit the capital, Athens , The Ancient Temple of Epidaurus (located nearby Epidavros) , the beautiful town of Nafplio (and Greece’s first capital after it achieved its independence), Sparta, Olympia – the birth place of the Olympic Games - and Delphi.
