Exploring the City. Athens is the historical capital of Europe. It is the birthplace of democracy, the arts, science, and the philosophy of Western civilization. Home to Plato, Socrates, Pericles, Euripides, Sophocles, and Aeschylus, Athens is one of the world’s oldest cities, with a recorded history spanning over 3,400 years and continuous habitation since the 11th millennium B.C.E. Today, under the shadow of the Parthenon, the city’s contemporary urban landscape reflects its rich historical legacy, multicultural identity, and modern infrastructure.
