Athens is the cradle of the history of the Western world

This ancient city, small in area, but huge in historical significance, was named after the Goddess of Wisdom who patronizes it. The history of the ancient city-state influenced the entire subsequent European culture, despite the fact that Athens experienced the heyday of its greatness in the Ancient world in the V century BC. And the time of the beginning of the prehistoric settlement is considered to be about 3000 BC. The works of such philosophers as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle remain relevant to this day. The work of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides does not cease to attract literary critics and figures of dramatic art, and now cinematographers.
The later history of Athens has experienced different times, from powerful ups to downs, such as in the early 19th century. Reborn after the times of Ottoman rule, Athens was only a small unremarkable village.
However, no historical events and wars prevented the city from preserving its former greatness and attractiveness. Today, you can spend months exploring and exploring all the sights of architecture, history, and art.
