Only a few days before the end of the year, Conde Nast Traveller announced the list with the best 17 destinations for 2017, as selected by the travel editors of the famous travel magazine. Among them, a Greek destination managed to climb up the list with the best travel destinations of the following year!
Specifically, Athens took the 5th place in the catalogue with the must-visit destinations for 2017. “Athens has always been known as an old city—that’s nothing new. Instead, what is new is its burgeoning status as a modern arts capital: Look no further than the recently opened, Renzo Piano-designed, $623 million Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, which houses the National Opera and the National Library of Greece, sits on the biggest park in Athens, and is the first public building in Greece to achieve a Platinum LEED certification. The National Museum of Contemporary Art also partially reopened in a renovated brewery after a 12-year closure, and in April, the city will co-host documenta, the exhibition of modern and contemporary art that takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany (it’s the first time the hosting duties will be split between two cities).”
