TEFL Athens | TEFL Greece

Formed over 3000 miles ago upon the famed rock of Acropolis, Athens has evolved into a modern, important European city since being made the capital of Greece in 1894. The past is ever present in Athens and the city thrives on its reputation as the birthplace of one of the world’s greatest civilizations, responsible for some of the greatest minds the world has seen.

Since the Olympic Games of 2004, the home of the original games has transformed, with many modern and luxury amenities being built. This includes a new airport, a complete new transport system and improvements that have made the port of Piraeus one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean. You will also be able to find brand new sports and shopping centers.

Athens is hugely popular with tourists and its history is definitely one of the main reasons. There are far too many attractions to list, but highlights include the famous Acropolis, the hills of Pnix and Filopapos, the ancient Agora, temple of Hephestus and ancient theatre of Dionsysus. While in Athens you should also take the opportunity to see the traditional whitewashed houses of Anafiotika, built around charming winding steps and streets.

The improvements to the transport services has made getting around Athens very easy. Buses, trams and the metro service are all inexpensive and reliable. Modern shopping facilities are also available and the charm of traditional markets such as found at Monastiraki, you can find modern stores and chains at shopping areas such as Ermou and Aiolou street. A whole host of culinary options are also available with all the expected western style food to be found as well as the traditional Greek and Ethnic foods we thoroughly recommend you sample.

If the various attractions start to sap your energy, there are plenty of beaches for you to unwind. Varkiza, Alimos, Glyfada, Kavouri and Vouliagmeni are all nearby, with the east coast of Attica also hugely popular with local people.
