Can someone tell me what Athens is like?
Athens, Greece is mostly dry and dusty. It is a sprawling city, essentially without skyscrapers. Its beauty lies in the climbs and the views from its two main hills; the Acropolis (on which the Parthenon and other ancient temples sit), and Likabettos, on top of which there is a monastery. The Athens Museum contains many famous artifacts and statues (especially Agamemnon's golden death mask). Some good eateries are in the Plaka district, near the Parthenon. Shopping for trinkets, clothing and various other souvenirs can be a bit of fun in the Monasteraki district. The general rule of thumb is to start out touring Athens, and end up on a cruise to the islands of the Dodecanese.

No, Athena has a temple in Athens. Poseidon and Athena each gave a gift to see who would be the city of Athens' leader. Poseidon gave the worlds first horse. Athena gave an olive tree which they could prey upon and help them find their way on quests. The city thought Athena's gift was more useful. Athena then had a temple built just for her in Athens. Poseidon was no longer allowed to set foot on Athens property.
