Athens, one of the world’s oldest cities, is the historic heart of Greece and the birthplace of democracy, philosophy, and classical art. Dominating the skyline is the iconic Acropolis, crowned by the Parthenon, a symbol of ancient Greek achievement and one of the most famous landmarks on Earth.

The city blends layers of history with a lively modern atmosphere. Ancient sites such as the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Ancient Agora, and the Theatre of Dionysus offer windows into the world of classical civilization. Surrounding these monumental ruins are vibrant neighborhoods like Plaka and Monastiraki, filled with neoclassical houses, Byzantine churches, bustling markets, and narrow streets lined with cafés and shops.

Athens also showcases Greece’s more recent history and culture. The National Archaeological Museum holds one of the richest collections of ancient artifacts in the world, while Syntagma Square and the Parliament building reflect the country’s modern political life. Street art, music, and contemporary cuisine bring a youthful, creative energy to the city.
