Attica

Attica combines the dense energy of Athens with the maritime calm of the Saronic Gulf, reflecting its position between the gulf and the Aegean Sea. Greece’s political and cultural centre also extends to coastal headlands and islands, including Hydra in the Saronic Islands. The Acropolis of Athens, crowned by the Parthenon, is its defining ancient monument, while Piraeus connects the capital with sea routes across Greece. At Cape Sounion, the Temple of Poseidon stands above the Aegean at Attica’s southern edge. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Attica.
