Athens
Athens is the historical capital of Europe, as it has been inhabited since the Neolithic period. During its long and fascinating history Athens reached its zenith in the 5th century B.C (golden age of Pericles), when the values and the civilization that developed in Athens surpassed the geographic boundaries of the city and acquired universal radiance. Democracy was born and evolved in Athens, theater, philosophy, arts, like architecture and sculpture, are also some of the aspects of human intellect that reached their peak in the 5th century Athens. Today, Athens is the capital and the largest city of Greece with a population of more than 4million, including its port, Piraeus. It is a sunbathed city (sunny days in Athens are far more than 200), that combines in the best way its classical past with the vibrant rhythms of a modern metropolis.
