NANFA-L-- hardness and pH

I've got a chemistry question. The water here in
Athens is very soft, less than 2 GH and KH. But it is
persistently alkaline, around pH 8 or more. Why on
earth is this? What can I do when I am working with
tap water to raise the hardness without raising the
pH? How can I lower the pH?
