Well...... The best answer would be Athens, but remember, Greece was not an organized country then. If you count Crete and all the islands, there are many. But back then, Athens was still an important city.

When Athens was defeated by Minos of Crete, the city was forced to pay a heavy tribute, which included sending seven young men and seven young women to Crete every nine years to be sacrificed to the Minotaur, a mythical creature. This tribute was a consequence of Athens' earlier conflict with Crete, specifically the killing of Minos's son, Androgeus. The practice continued until the hero Theseus volunteered to go to Crete, where he ultimately killed the Minotaur and ended the tribute, leading to a new era of Athenian power.
The first European civilization was on Crete, so it would be fair to say the Knossos is the oldest Greek city. As for oldest SURVIVING city, I'd go with athens.
Crete or Athens.
Crete is still a Greek City-State.
The relationship between Crete and Athens in ancient Greece was characterized by both conflict and cooperation, particularly during the mythological era of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth. According to mythology, Athens was required to pay tribute to Crete by sending seven young men and seven young women every nine years as a sacrifice to the Minotaur. This tribute was a consequence of Athens' defeat in a war against Crete, symbolizing the power dynamics between the two city-states. Ultimately, the tribute underscored Athens' subjugation to Cretan authority, which was later challenged by heroes like Theseus.
