Software Development in Athens
Athens is Greece's capital and its only major technology hub — home to the banking sector, Piraeus Port (the world's largest container terminal by volume in the Mediterranean), and a rapidly growing startup ecosystem emerging from Greece's economic recovery.
City Overview
