Let"s talk about Athens, the capital of Greece. The city symbolises the roots of Western civilisation and ancient Greek philosophy, which focused on critical thinking and questioning. The city"s iconic Acropolis and Parthenon remind us of the brilliant minds of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, who started a revolution of rationale that is still shaping our society today. The city is one of the world"s oldest, with a recorded history going back over 3,400 years. Its blend of ancient monuments and modern society make it a truly unique destination.
