  Named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Athens saw the birth of democracy, drama, and the foundations of Western philosophy. Today it remains a fascinating city full of culture, excellent museums, ancient ruins such as the Acropolis and Parthenon, and lively stalls offering food and crafts.
  Though the 20th century buildings and smog can deter many, the city is well worth a visit before heading to outlying Greek islands.
