Athens

Among the cities of Attica, Athens stands out for the Acropolis, the limestone hill crowned by the Parthenon. Greece’s capital spreads across the Attic basin between Mount Hymettus and the Saronic Gulf, where dense modern neighbourhoods meet archaeological sites from the ancient city. The Acropolis Museum presents finds from the sacred rock, while the nearby Ancient Agora recalls Athens’ role as a centre of civic life and philosophy. Plaka’s narrow streets extend below the Acropolis, linking classical monuments with the life of a contemporary Mediterranean capital.
