The birthplace of the Western Civilization, this city is the stuff of legends. Named after the Greek goddess of Wisdom, Athena, and built around the Acropolis, it was once the center of the ancient world, leaving its indelible mark in literature, philosophy, politics and art. In the footsteps of Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, we journey through the layers of history of the capital to discover roman vestiges, learn about the 19th century decline and later rebirth under King Otto, leading to the city of today. You will learn about: First settlements in the 11th millennia BC Mycenaean civilization Iron Age center of trade and prosperity Persian Wars The Golden Age of Democracy Macedon and the end of independence Roman rule Byzantine Period Conquest of the Ottoman Empire Greek War of Independence and the Greek Kingdom Birth of the modern city plan by King Otto of Bavaria First modern Olympic Games First World War Greek-Turkish war Second World War Post-war boom
