Athens is one of the world's oldest and most awe-inspiring cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years, and its earliest human presence beginning somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennia BC. Visiting Athens is an immersive experience, where history comes alive, surrounding you from the existing ancient ruins to the ancient city infrastructure that still stands today, a testament to human ingenuity. According to Greek mythology, the city was named after Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, but modern scholars generally agree that the goddess took her name after the city, a remarkable example of the power of legacy. So, as you choose Athens as your next vacation destination, remember to delve into your Greek heritage and discover the treasures that await you. Classical Athens was one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece, a beacon of democracy, arts, education, and philosophy, whose influence resonated throughout the European continent, particularly in Ancient Rome. For this reason, it is often regarded as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, a shining example of human potential. The democratic principles that have shaped America today originated in this city, a true source of inspiration.
