Athens, which lies in the basin of Attica between Mt Parnes, Penteli and Hymettus, on the shores of the Saronic Gulf, is the capital of modern Greece. During its long and rich history, the brilliant cultural achievements of Athens made an invaluable contribution to manking and human heritage. Monuments of antiquity are scattered all across Athens, with the supreme creations in the Acropolis perched high up on a hill towering over the city.
- Pros:Athens is living history, rich in archeological relics and culture
- In a nutshell:Cradle of ancient Greek civilisation
