About Athens

Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with a recorded history spanning 3,400 years. The birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, and much of Western civilisation itself. The Acropolis — crowned by the Parthenon — has stood watch over the city for 2,500 years. Today Athens is a vibrant, chaotic, beautiful capital of 3.5 million people, where ancient ruins sit between neoclassical buildings and contemporary cafés.
