"The capital" Athens by gale.blog.pl

Athens Travel Guide: 4,404 reviews and 10,114 photos

Life in Athens appeared probably in 6th century B.C. The city has a long and complicated history.

Now it is facing serious problems related to overcrowding, as well as poor state of natural environment.

I personally did not like the city but there are people who say that Athens are beautiful. Well, let's not dicuss taste.

OMONIA SQUARE IS THE CITY'S PROBLEM SPOT. IT IS FREQUENTED BY DRUG ADDICTS, IMMIGRANTS, ETC-ONE MUST WATCH FOR PICKPOCKETS-THOUGH HAVING LIVED IN NORTH AMERICA I LAUGH WHEN PURSE SNATCHERS, HOME AND BANK ROBBERIES MAKE THE NEWS!

Accurate opinion in intro, luckily Greece has much more to offer than it's overcrowded and busy capital, you know that well.
