A few words about Athens

Athens has been the capital of Greece since 1834 and the country's largest and most populous city. It was named after the goddess Athena. It is located in Attica, and is one of the oldest cities in the world, with its recorded history reaching as far as 3,200 BC.

The central square of Athens is Syntagma Square, which took its name from the uprising of the army and the people and the gathering that took place there on September 3, 1843. Syntagma Square is located opposite the Old Palace, the current seat of the Hellenic Parliament, and very close to most of the attractions of central Athens.
It is within walking distance of Plaka, Monastiraki, Kolonaki and Psirri and the archaeological sites of the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora and Hadrian's Library. It is in front of the Parliament from the Amalia Avenue side and in front of the Unknown Soldier Monument, with a fountain and garden, trees, statues and a cafe. There is also a central metro station in the square.

Omonia Square is, together with Syntagma, one of the oldest squares in Athens. In the square there are also several places to eat while there is an electric and Metro station. It is the center of celebration of sporting successes, as was done after winning the Euro 2004 and EuroBasket 2005 championships.
