Athens
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece, with a metropolitan population of over 3.6 million people (2022). Known as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Athens blends ancient history with a vibrant modern culture.
Gastronomy
Greek cuisine is one of the healthiest and most flavorful in the world, rich in olive oil, herbs, vegetables, and fresh seafood. Influenced by the Mediterranean, Balkan, and Middle Eastern worlds, Athens offers a feast for the senses. Be sure to try classic dishes like moussaka, souvlaki, spanakopita, dolmades, tzatziki, and the iconic Greek salad. Don’t miss the local street food — a fresh, warm gyro wrapped in pita is a must!
