I went for some needed vacations to Athens... no doubt the change from a small "fish-smelling" town into a big chaotic city might not seem to be the description of vacation for many, but for me the big cities are heaven!
So arriving to Athens, the first surprise came up... we arrived at around midnight and two very good friends picked us up... for starters, the airport was filled with people. We went directly to Athens just to find the roads filled with people and the whole place filled with light and life.
It was total ecstasy to be able to get a dinner and drinks after 1am sitting on a table outside a bar filled with people that don't stare at you like a total stranger.
The next day we went to the must-see tourist temple... The Acropolis which no doubt is impressive, but even more is to stand at the edge of it and be able to stare down to Athens, and see how the city stretches massively housing half of the total Greek population!
Amongst evened out buildings homogeneous in shapes and colours, the Acropolis emerges stating centuries of cultural splendor... and to its feet the Agora showing the foundation of the culture...
Well enough chit chat... I believe is better to take a look at the pictures and get the idea by yourself:
