There is a touch of Pericles’ Athens in Washington

Washington makes you feel as if you are at the center of modern democracy. The buildings, the statues, and the signs bearing philosophical wisdom throughout public life recall the Athens of Pericles.

Politics lie at the heart of the city, and their centers are easy accessible to everyone. Nowhere do you feel afraid of being cheated; prices are clearly stated, and business is conducted with full transparency for your security as a consumer.
The city itself is wonderful, but it is the people who make you feel special. You are always treated with respect and kindness.

In Washington journalists can move freely in many spaces simply by presenting their press credentials, making access much more open and immediate.
