ATHENS, Greece — A dramatic red sunset illuminates the western skyline of Athens. The sun sets behind the Egaleo mountain range, which forms the city's western border, reaching an elevation of 468 meters (1,535 feet). The silhouettes of buildings in western Athens and possibly parts of Piraeus, located about 12 km ( miles) southwest of central Athens, are visible against the vivid sky. This scene, common in Athens due to its Mediterranean climate, is intensified by atmospheric conditions and the city's elevation of 70-300 meters (230-984 feet) above sea level.
