Athens"Classical Athens was a powerful city-state that emerged in conjunction with the seagoing development of the port of Piraeus. A center for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato´s Academy and Aristotle´s Lyceum, it is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, largely because of its cultural and political impact on the European continent, and in particular the Romans.[10] In modern times, Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece." - (en.wikipedia.org 27.11.2019) Greece Kerameikos Tempel am Ilissos (Athen) Alopeke Ölwald bei Athen Choragic Monument of Lysicrates Panathenaic Stadium Parthenon Theatre of Dionysus Acropolis of Athens Mount Lycabettus Ilisos
