Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece and the birthplace of democracy.

NATURAL WORLD

Athens sprawls across the central plain of Attica, bordered by Mount Aegaleo in the west, Mount Parnitha in the north, Mount Penteli in the northeast, Mount Hymettus in the east and the Saronic Gulf in the southwest.

ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL

Thanks to the 2004 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Athens ramped up its accessibillity infrastructure. More than 1,000 wheelchair access ramps were installed as well as 65 kilometers of walkways for the visually impaired. This work continues.

The City of Athens has prepared the Ermis guide to accessible businesses and an accessible travel guide to Athens' archaeological sites and museums.


VISITING?

TRANSPORTATION -- Athens is served by the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, 35 kilometers east of downtown. There is an Express Bus service connecting the airport to the metro system and two express bus services connecting the airport to downtown.
