Although Attica is home to more than four million people, nearly half the population of the country, parts of this arid and mountainous region are as untouched as if they lay on its distant borders.

In \'Attica\' the author has made available some of the rich heritage of history (ancient and modern), legend and tradition, of this fascinating but neglected region.
