On our planet there are not many cities that can compete with Athens antiquity. Built by Theseus at the behest of the goddess Athena, this city saw the invasion of the Persians and the trial of Socrates, glorified Pericles and expelled Thucydides, united Greece and became the instigator of discord, praised poets and philosophers - and ridiculed them. Later, this city saw the Macedonians, Romans and Gauls, resisted the Ottoman Empire, received Lord Byron and other celebrities, and eventually became the capital of independent Greece. Pleasant walks around the city of Acropolis and Parthenon, the city of Pericles and Themistocles, Plato and Aristotle, Ypsilanti and Kapodistrias, Vangelis and Demis Roussos!
