About Saint Petersburg
Saint Petersburg is a city located in northwestern Russia on the delta of the river Neva at the east end of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. It is informally known as as Leningrad (1924–1991) and Petrograd (1914–1924),
Founded by Tsar Peter the Great in 1703 as a "window to Europe," it served as the capital of the Russian Empire (the capital was moved to Moscow after the Russian Revolution of 1917). With about 4.7 million inhabitants (2002), today Saint Petersburg is Russia's second-largest city, Europe's fourth largest city, a major European cultural center, and the most important Russian port on the Baltic.

About Athens
It is hard to believe now, but at the beginning of the 19th century, following numerous occupations and battles for control of the city, Athens was on the verge of annihilation. The development of the vibrant city we know today began in 1834, when Athens was declared capital of the kingdom of Greece. An air ticket to Athens will give you a chance to see the many museums, historical remains and beautiful public buildings that characterise Athens as a city.
Its status as capital resulted in several periods of rapid development, and today Athens is a very modern capital. Much of the city's infrastructure and public transport system underwent modernisation at the end of the nineties, and now Athens has one of most modern metro systems in the world. For getting around in Athens, you have a choice between the metro, buses, trams or trains – and of course, taxis.
