Athens was democracy in the true sense yes, because in fact the more you look at the facts the more the more the ancient democracy of Athens and the democracies look different.
Ancient Athens only allowed a very small group of men residents in Athens the vote. Women and foreigners were excluded.
Athens democracy also demanded a lot of time, adult male citizen who had the vote had to put a halt to their jobs and take up positions of authority within the democratic system on a rota system.
They also had to go to the Athenian assembly on a regular basis to debate and vote on the important issues like going to war.
Athens also eventually decided to encourage citizens further by paying them to come to the assembly to undertake other democratic issues like acting like jurors in the law of courts.
