GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Athens is the nation’s capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki and Patras.

Detailed explanation-2: -Athens was chosen as the Greek capital for historical and sentimental reasons, not because it was a large city: there are few buildings in Athens from the period of Byzantine Empire and the 18th century.
