Classic Tours
Athens (Greek: Αθήνα) is the capital and largest city of Greece.
It is also known as the birthplace of democracy.
Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world with a recorded history of at least 3,000 years.
Ancient Athens was a powerful city-state center of learning, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum.
It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization, largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th centuries BC on the rest of the then known European Continent.
The classical era heritage is still evident in the city, portrayed through a number of ancient monuments and artworks, the most famous of all being the Parthenon on the Acropolis, standing as an epic landmark of western civilization.
