Athens city

Athens is the capital city of Greece. There are over three million people living in the metropolitan area. Although it is best known for the historic tourist attractions, Athens is a very modern city with a well-developed transportation system. It is a very popular tourist destination because of its Mediterranean climate.

Greece has a program to recycle metal, plastic and glass through Kiosks like this.

One of the best places to get an overview of the city is from the top of the hill. You know, the one with the Parthenon on top. It is as much an icon of Athens and Greece as the Eifel Tower is of Paris France.
