Greece - its capital (6)

I believe the answer is:

athens

(Other definitions for athens that I've seen before include "Hasten to European capital" , "City of the Parthenon" , "city in Greece" , "Hasten (anag) -- capital city" , "Capital of Greece" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
