The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Athens:
Athens
Athens – capital of Greece and of the Attica region. With 3,090,508 residents in 412 km2 (159 sq mi), it is also the country's most populated city. Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years.[1]
Acropolis Museum – opened in 2009, and replacing the old museum on the Acropolis, this museum has proved considerably popular; almost one million people visited during the summer period June–October 2009 alone. A number of smaller and privately owned museums focused on Greek culture and arts are also to be found.
Benaki Museum – with a branch for each of its collections including ancient, Byzantine, Ottoman-era, and Chinese art and beyond
Kerameikos Archaeological Museum – displays artifacts from the burial site of Kerameikos. Much of the pottery and other artifacts relate to Athenian attitudes towards death and the afterlife, throughout many ages.
National Archaeological Museum – largest archaeological museum in the country, and one of the most important internationally. It contains a vast collection of antiquities, with artifacts covering a period of more than 5,000 years, from late Neolithic Age to Roman Greece.
