The world owes much to Greece’s beautiful, ramshackle capital, which has been central to Western art, culture and philosophy longer than most other places have been a feature on the map.
Crowned by the Acropolis, whose stone monoliths are unfathomable in their history, Athens appears like a sprawling, living museum – a place where the defining moments in European history are there for all to see. From the Greeks to the Romans, the Turks to the Venetians, so many have left their mark on this great city, and we’re all the richer for it.
