Bring ancient Greece home with this Athens distance sign, a classic gift for history lovers, philosophy students and anyone who has climbed the Acropolis.
Athens is often called the birthplace of democracy, which took shape there around 508 BC. The Parthenon, completed in 438 BC on the Acropolis, was dedicated to the goddess Athena, the city's patron. Socrates taught in its streets and Plato founded his Academy there. The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896 at the Panathenaic Stadium, built entirely of marble, and the city hosted the Olympics again in 2004. Outside the parliament in Syntagma Square, Evzone guards in traditional uniforms perform the changing of the guard.
