Preparations for the Olympic Games 2004
by belgrade03
Athens is nowadays a large construction area, since the next Olympiad will be held here next year. The Greeks try to give their capital a new face, but I doubt everything can be finished in time. There are many construction area in the whole city, full of machines, transportation is somewhat different due to this and is even more confusing. Prepare for crowds in streets, in subway, in tourist places, in shops. Athens is a very popular tourist destination throughout the year. While in Belgrade people wore jackets, in Athens people still enjoyed warm weather and the Sun and swimming in pools.

the city haven't a lot of atractives, but you must see the acropolis and the agora.
The acropolis, or high city, was building in strategic position, where you can see the egeo sea. It served as base of the militar defense and built as the great religiou's centre.
In the arcropolis is the parthenon's ruins, the agora, is the great market in antique athens and it's the civic social and administrative centre of the athenian life.

Cats Cats everywhere.
I only spent a few days in Athens, I was tired of big noisy cities and so escaped soon after arriving. The beautiful flower pots everywhere. I loved them, in front of every house.
Syndagma
by OrlandoBR
Syndagma Square is what I consider to be the heart of Athens. It is a central place, close to everything and filled with restaurants, hotels, shops (it's where the commercial Ermou street starts), lots of people and lots of dogs! The ceremony in the tomb of the Unknown Soldier takes place here.
