Athens in 1832 had a population of 4,000.  In 2011 the population of Athens was just under 3.5 million.  According to the CIA fact book, Greece has a population of 10 million (give or take) in 2013. Which is about 35% of the nation’s population living in the city.

Sometimes I miss Greece a lot (thanks for sending this link, cousin  Athanasia!).
