Athens, Greece |
| Athens Information Athens is the capital of Greece and one of the most famous cities in the world, named after goddess Athena. Modern Athens is a cosmopolitan city home to 3.4 million people. The Athens metropolitan area is currently growing both northwards and eastwards across Attica and it constitutes the dominant center of economic, financial, industrial, cultural and political life in Greece as well as in the Balkans today. The city is also rapidly becoming a leading business centre in Europe. Ancient Athens was a powerful city state and a renowned center of learning, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. It is considered to have been the cradle of Western civilization, largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 4th and 5th centuries BC on the rest of the then European Continent. The heritage of the Athens is still evident in the city, seen through a number of spectacular ancient monuments and artworks, the most famous of all being the Parthenon on the Acropolis.
