Athens is the largest and capital city of Greece, located in the Attica region. It is considered one of the oldest cities in the world, with a history spanning more than 3000 years. It is therefore a very diverse and varied city in terms of history, architectural style and culture. It is considered the cradle of arts, culture, western civilisation and democracy.
The city is a large metropolis that plays a central role in the economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life of Greece. It is a world centre for archaeological research. It boasts institutions such as the University of Athens, the Archaeological Society and a number of archaeological museums, including the National Archaeological Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum, as well as the Kerameikos Archaeological Museum. At the Acropolis Museum, be sure to see the caryatids, or female statues, which are part of the distinctive Greek architectural style. The Cathedral of Athens in the city centre is a very beautiful sight.
The Acropolis of Athens is a must-see, perhaps the most famous symbol of Athens and Greece. It can be seen as an ancient citadel, perched on a rocky promontory above the city of Athens, containing the remains of many ancient buildings. These are of great architectural and historical importance, the most famous and best known being the Parthenon. However, it is made up of many parts, so it is worth taking the time to visit it.

It lies 5 km north of Artemida, 7 km south of Nea Makri and 25 km east of Athens city centre. The port city is surrounded by a rich geographical diversity and can be a good starting point for exploring several cities and Greek sites.
In recent years the town has developed significantly. Its population reaches 12.000 inhabitants and in summer it is several times more, thanks to the fact that Rafina is a popular tourist destination. During the summer, many events are held in the town, such as the “August Moon”, which takes place in August, when the last full moon of August occurs. On this day, many musicians gather in front of the church of St Nicholas and sing songs about the moon.
