110cities.com/cities/athens

Greece is the southernmost country in the Balkan Peninsula. The nation is characterized by its natural beauty, having more than 2,000 islands in the Mediterranean. Greece is rich in ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity.

Migrations, invasions, imperial conquests, and 20th-century wars all contributed to this vibrancy, which continues to define modern Greece. The country’s capital is Athens, which expanded rapidly in the second half of the 20th century. A host of contemporary civilization’s intellectual and artistic ideas were founded in Athens, and the metropolis is considered the birthplace of Western culture.

Due to Athen’s proximity to the Middle East, the city is home to many Muslims. However, it is not only ethnic minorities that need Good News. Today, a total of .3% of Greeks identify as evangelical. Fresh wind and fresh fire are required to awaken this great city.
