Whether you choose Athens or Thessaloniki, you will benefit from living and studying in a city of long and rich history, and enjoy the bustling nightlife, as well as a variety of cultural events throughout the year.<\/p>\n
Often described as one of the most interesting cities in Europe, Athens is the capital city of Greece, a modern country, member of the European Union since 1981, with a glorious but sometimes turbulent past. Renowned all over the world as the birth place of democracy, and for having laid the foundations of western civilization, today, Athens following the successful Olympic Games of 2004, has developed into a beautiful, dynamic and friendly city with a multicultural milieu, which offers its people a vast range of cultural and entertainement choices.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Thessaloniki, the capital of the Balkans for many centuries, and the crossroad of cultures and civilizations, has constituted the window to the Mediterranean for all the peoples of the North. It was in the general vicinity – in Pella- where Philip II and Alexander the Great established their dynasty and spread Hellenic civilization to the world. You may take just a brief tour of the city to experience the unique blending of past and present, traditional and modern, east and west, and just cycle by the seafront to feel the breeze of a cosmopolitan city.<\/p>\n
