Ancient Athens

   

                                          Athens

      Ancient Athens was known as the cradle of Western civilization. A city with recorded history of 3,400 years and one that gave the world Aristotle’s Lyceum and Plato’s Academy, the Greek capital is a fascinating location to visit. Sitting high up above the city, the ancient Acropolis seems to serve as a reminder to Athenians that even though their home has turned into a bustling, edgy, urban sprawl, there is no ignoring its rich heritage.
