Centered around the Acropolis, this ancient capital is a must-see on the Aegean Sea. Name that godly city.

Athens is named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the Greeks were certainly no stranger to that. With philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle roaming the streets, the majestic capital city is often called the birthplace of democracy. Crowned by the Parthenon (a monument built to Athena), the white-columned monument sits atop the Acropolis and is surrounded by further architectural treasures. What more can we say – get him to the Greek!
