Athens citydoes not have winding streets.Athens modern was designed by a German in the 19th C. Its streets are built according to a grid pattern.Somewhat like Manhatten city.Which despite its Native American name was built by uitlander Dutch initially.The Acropolis was built by Athenians per se.Some Turk remnants may also remain.The Greek Royal Family is also of Germanic origin.Like “Phil the Greek” :S .Plus ca change etc.
