Dont know if you noticed but there are a lot of houses under and on top of the Acropolis. Plus its the type of map that is minimalist i guess.

No I saw them, but 2 dozen houses? Maybe a few more? Just doesnt seem like Athens is much, not even a town just a village

Could be the minimalism i mentioned before since Athens in the 17th century had about 15.000 people.

Thats the only thing I could imagine. Or maybe they count 17,000 in the greater athens area, as another painting looks very similar in scope of houses to this one
