The Athens

by starstudio - last update: Oct 23, 2008

if listen ones for this city.. is time to visit

Tetsis
My birth place, all my life, whole my origines is right here.

Who don't loves his memories? I join my journey to this planet from this start point.

I can't say for Athens, because all is in history. I can't show you photos that are easy to find many of them. So i decide to show you the "view" by some of famous Greece painters.

After that, i can only show you the modern side of the life here. I just try to thing as a visitor spending few days to Athens. Join the tour!

So..If you only thought of Athens as a necessary evil of your trip on the way
to the islands, it’s time to change your mind. The modern city offers anamazing variety of activities and places of interest to keep you happy and busy - while you wait for the boat.

Admittedly, concrete-loving Athens is not the prettiest of cities, but within the urban sprawl you’ll find great sites and museums packed with
some of the most impressive artefacts in the world, excellent food, a vivid nightlife, an open, leisured lifestyle, clear blue beaches, the best of
weathers and yes, the Acropolis.
The city is like a public experiment: It’s always changing and reinventing itself. Constructions, renovations and excavations are taking place
on a daily basis, giving you the opportunity to watch the city change before your eyes – and fill your shoes with dust.
As a result of the Athens 2004 Olympics, the basic public transport and road infrastructure has seriously improved, with the new airport and tube providing a much needed upgrade of services and faster commuting. If you’re staying at the city centre, you’ll find that most sites, museums and bars are within walking distance from each other and the tube will effectively get
you anywhere you want to go. That said, traffic chaos and pollution remain an issue, as Greeks love to drive even for the shortest of distances.

One of the most impressive changes over the last years has come from the integration of the ancient city into the modern town. A pedestrian walkway created to connect the central archaeological sites around the Acropolis Hill
has succeeded in uniting them with the new neoclassical houses, restaurants and cafés and everyday lives of its four million inhabitants.
No doubt, Athens is at its best in the summer, as cafés, restaurants and bars open up and serve customers on pavements, gardens and courtyards, allowing you to enjoy the balmy weather and moonlit sky.

All of you welcome to Athens, i will be very glad to help you.

For all that you like to find in Athens, feel free to ask me, or even better come and find it.
