Region
Attica is the historical region that covers the whole Athens metropolitan area. It is a peninsula projecting into the Aegean Sea, and its history is closely linked with that of Athens.
The region has two lakes in this guide: Lake Marathon, the man-made reservoir behind the Marathon Dam, and Lake Vouliagmeni, a small brackish lake on the Athens Riviera that has served as a spa since the end of the nineteenth century.
