Athens, the capital and largest city in Greece, dominates the Attica periphery: as one of the world's oldest cities, its recorded history spans at least 3,000 years.

Ancient Athens was a powerful city-state. A center for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Akademia and Aristotle's Lyceum, Athens was also the birthplace of Socrates, Pericles, Sophocles, and its many other prominent philosophers, writers and politicians of the ancient world. It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western Civilization, and the birthplace of democracy, largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th centuries BC on the rest of the then known European continent.

  • Great videos - it's amazing how much you have traveled. I wonder what cruise line and if you would recommend it. We are interested in going on a Greek Island cruise. Thanks!

  • WE were on the Star Princess from Rome to Venice for 12 days. The itinerary was great. We left at the end of Oct. I would recommend it highly.
