Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with its history spanning over 3,400 years. It is widely acknowledged as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy. The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon. Athens hosts also several museums and cultural institutions, such as the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities and the new Acropolis Museum.
The Schinias Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Centre is about 35 kilometers from Athens city center and near historical city of Marathon. Has a capacity of 14.000 seats and was built to host the rowing and canoe sprint events at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece. Its length is 2,250 meters and is connected to an auxiliary pond, which will be used for training and warm up.
Schinias Rowing and Canoeing Center is one of the three FISA-approved training centers in the world. It hosts domestic rowing and canoeing meetings and has hosted the European Rowing Championships in September 2008. After the 2004 Olympics, the facility was completely reconstructed.
