    You want facts about Athens AND Greece or about Athens IN Greece??? I guess you mean the latter, so :

    Facts about Athens:

    1) Actually, M.C. it's a city ;-) [ I know you were speaking about Greece!]

    2) It's the capital and largest city of Greece.

    3)It was at the height of its cultural achievements and imperial power in the fifth century b.c. during the time of Pericles.

    4)Athens became the capital of modern Greece in 1834.

    5) It is located in the eastern part of the country near the Saronic Gulf.

    6)Population:close to 5 million

    7)Size: 476 sq. km
