Summary

The birthplace of democracy, Athens has had a long and glorious past, from its Classical Age of philosophy and art to the Byzantine era, Ottoman occupation, and beyond. Now a fast-growing modern capital, Athens has seen its economy benefit from the city's unique position between Europe and Asia. Ever proud of their heritage, Athenians host a wealth of people from around the world who come to explore their many ancient monuments.
