I Choose Πελλα (Pela), the Capital of the Macedonian Empire. Anyway Athens is really polluted and Sparta? Uhmmm, nope! (ειναι κανεις Ελληνας ρε παιδες? Μονο τον Akira ξερω. Tι ακυρο thread ειναι αυτο?)

The Macedonians weren't even really greeks. The archelogy and ancetdotal historical evidence of the time points to them being of a different ethinic group.

I'd go with Athens of the two, as Spartans culture was rather... well spartan.

There is a reason why one who buys nothing unessential and does nothing for pleasure is called living a spartan lifestyle.

The history of Macedonia dates far back, from ancient to modern Greece. It began with the Kingdom of Macedonia, (reorganised by Philip II), through the empire of Alexander the Great, continuing within the Roman and Byzantine empires, the domination of the Ottomans (from 14th century until 1912) and the Balkan Wars. You just dont know nothing about ethinic groups and Macedonia. Macedonia was a Hellenic Capital of the ancient Greek(Hellas). It's geografical position is in northen Greece(Hellas) and has three regions Central,East,West Macedonia. The majority of 93% of the population is Hellinic(Greeks). So everything else you say they just don't sustain scientifically. The rest you can read it on Wikipedia  for more serious scientific explanations and not anecdotal mumbo jumbo some others claim to say.
