Its recorded history spans around 3.400 years and it has been inhabited since the 11th millennium B.C. E.
Today, under the shadow of the Parthenon, the contemporary urban scenery of the sprawling city reflects its exciting history, its multi-cultural modern personality as well as the infrastructure and facilities.
