Surrounded by three mountains, the capital of Greece is named after the Greek Goddess Athena. The stunning Byzantine monuments and museums exist hand in hand with outdoor cafes and a modern art scene. The city is currently being spruced up to host the Olympics 2004. As the gateway to the islands and with yearly festivals and other celebrations, Athens is an un-missable destination.
