Mon Aug 20 2033 The Greek capital of Athens is a modern Metropolis, a center of tourism, winemaking, shipping, and marble mining along with its fair share of smog. Luxury hotels, colorful shop windows displaying everything from sculptures to textiles and food, museums with vast treasure troves of ancient artifacts, and cafes serving baklava and strong Greek coffee line its busy streets. Still, it is best known for its ancient temples and buildings. The crowning glory of this ancient city is the worn, white marble Parthenon on the Acropolis, still standing after 2500 years. Nearby is the complex, richly-embellished temple to both Athena and Poseidon - the Erechtheum, supported on the south by exquisitely-carved caryatids.
