"IMPREXXION: ATHENS" Athens by xuessium

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

..."My first image of Greece is always the image of a majestic Acropolis, rising above the beige dull undergrowth, set against a brilliant cobalt sky, flanked by white fluffy playful clouds. Unfortunately, Athens refused to reward me with the handsome image. The tearing sky was furiously grey, all puffed up in hues of sorrow. I stood under the doorway of the Acropolis Museum, watching as raindrops passed by, nursing in my heart, an image of a majestic Acropolis, rising above the beige dull undergrowth, set against a brilliant cobalt sky, flanked by white fluffy playful clouds"...

    I like your personalised tips. Unfortunately, metro covers only a few parts of the city. It takes ages to build a new station or a new line. cheers! konstantinos

    I am looking forward to my trip to Greece from 17 - 29 October. I'll be taking in Athens, Delphi, Kalambaka and the islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Flying into Athens on Thai and flying out of Santorino on Aegean via Athens.

    Great Athens photos! Love your tip on the Acropolis. Funny, but true. Any future trips planned? Didn't realize that Dark Ray is your brother. he leaves some great tips in the Spore forum. Cheers!

    Great updates, mate! Philopappos Hill was also my favourite place to escape the crowds and to view the Acropolis!

    Next stop Athens... Honestly I don't like this place, but a friend lives there and we'll set off to explore some islands straight away.
