Yiamas! History Meets Modern Athens, with Theodore Katis at The Hotel Grand Bretagne

We can’t talk about culture, food and wine without visiting one of the greatest cities on the planet where the locals have been celebrating these for centuries. Modern day Athens is stepping forward from its ancient past with new contemporary art venues, a lively theatre scene, and plenty of hidden treasures.
Since 1874 the Hotel Grande Bretagne has played major roles in world history and been the base of Athens' social scene, hosting diplomats, royalty, elite athletes, celebrities and VIPs - just like you and me. In a city full of antiquities, the "GB" is also a place with its own incredible stories, fantastic food and wine, and the most jaw dropping view of the Acropolis.
Whether you stay for a few days or explore for a week, my guest, Theodore Katis, takes us on a tour of the old and the new in this legendary city, plus his picks for day trips and discovering his favorite Greek islands.
