Overview
The birthplace of the Western Civilization, this city is the stuff of legends. Named after the Greek goddess of Wisdom, Athena, and built around the Acropolis, it was once the center of the ancient world, leaving its indelible mark in literature, philosophy, politics and art. In the footsteps of Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, we journey through the layers of history of the capital to discover roman vestiges, learn about the 19th century decline and later rebirth under King Otto, leading to the city of today.
