Location

Athens is the capital and largest city in Greece. It was also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire, and is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy. The city is still dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks and is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the famous Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. The city is a testament to the classical era and has the world's largest collection of Greek antiquities. Nafplio is a coastal town in the Peloponnese and was the first capitol of the Kingdom of Greece. The city has a beautiful shoreline, winding streets, and an array of historical sites and attractions.
