The answer to that would have to be the home of the Minoan civilization at Knossos on the Island of Crete. The Pre-Palace period (early Minoan) began as early as 3100 BC. It is speculated that humans first settled on the island as early as 7000 BC. Knossos is also the discovery place of Linear A and Linear B, the earliest form of European writing (Linear A still having not been deciphered yet).

Actual city wise i'd have to guess Athens, Greece, or Rome, Italy. The oldest settlement (any size) probably origionated along the Adriatic Sea/Medditeranean Sea.
