Athens: An overview of the beautiful city of Athens, Greece

    Athens was named in antiquity after the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena. It is the official capital of Greece since 1834 and it is the most oriental capital of Europe.

Athens is also the most important commercial city of Greece and Piraeus, its main port, is one of the most important in the Mediterranean.

Athens is one of the few capitals of Europe with thousands of years of history.
Many consider the city as the cradle of the modern civilization.

 
The city of Athens in offering much more than its disorganised appearances and many efforts to reorganise the city have been done in order to welcome the Olympic games of 2004.

The city offers some of the most interesting archaeological sites and museums in the world, nice walks in neighbours reminding the Greek islands, many pedestrian streets, pine-covered hills and parks, cafés, restaurants, bars, galleries and much more that just waiting to be discovered…
