Attika, or the Attika peninsula, is a historical region and peninsula in Greece projecting into the Aegean Sea which encompasses the country's capital, Athens. As such, it is home to some of the most iconic Hellenic landmarks, and its dry summer climate is archetypal of the beautiful environment popularly associated with Greece.[1]

History

With the conflict pitting Athens' Delian League against the city-state of Sparta, the peninsula was the central battleground of the war.[1] The Spartan army set up multiple siege camps along the western approaches to Athens, as well as the Cemetery Road. ​​​​

Regions

The Attika Peninsula was made up of fourteen regions and islands:
