Here are some fun facts and lesser-known facts about Athens and its past:

  • The world's oldest capital city: Athens has been continuously inhabited for over 3400 years. This makes it the oldest capital in Europe, and it ranks in the Top 10 globally as well.

  • More theaters than in London: In Athens, more than 150 theaters It works. That's more than what's found on London's West End and New York's Broadway combined.

  • Free museums: On the first Sunday of every month (between November and March), all state archaeological sites and museums – including the Acropolis – are free to visit.

  • The city of marble The Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro) is the only stadium in the world made entirely of white Pentelic marble. This is the same material from which the Parthenon was built.

  • Orange trees everywhere: Orange trees (bitter oranges) line the streets everywhere. Although they look great, their fruit is inedibly sour and bitter – locals only use them for decoration or jam.

  • Democracy's “Blacklist”: In ancient times, there existed the Ostrakismos (Ostracism). If someone was considered too dangerous or popular for democracy, citizens wrote their names on pottery shards. Whoever received the most votes was exiled from the city for 10 years.

  • Heat record holder Athens holds the official heat record for the European continent. 118.4°F-szal. Due to the urban „heat island effect,” concrete and marble brutally store heat in the summer.

  • Graffiti Capital Athens is one of the hubs of European street art. In the Psiri and Exarcheia neighborhoods, the walls are covered with murals, which are an integral part of the city’s modern identity.

Time to explore

What you will love.

  • A panoráma: A Lükabéttosz-hegy csúcsáról a tengerig látni. A város fehér házai és az Akropolisz sziluettje az ókori és a modern világ találkozását mutatja.
  • A történelem közelsége: Az utcákon járva kétezer éves márványoszlopok és rejtett bizánci templomok bukkannak fel a házfalak között. A múlt itt a mindennapok része.
  • Anafiótika hangulata: A szűk, kanyargós lépcsők és a fehérre meszelt házfalak egy eldugott szigeti falut idéznek a nagyváros közepén.
