About Athens
Athens (Greek: Αθήνα, Athína) is the capital city of Greece. It was the major cultural, political and religious centre of Classical Greece, a place that deeply influenced the course of Western civilization. But don't come expecting a philosopher's theme park; contemporary Athens is the gritty, graffiti-coated, fast-beating urban heart of the country, where modern Greek culture, business and social life flourish amidst ancient monuments.
