Athens Olympic Stadium - Greece: This place used to be ympic venue and a place to host major sport events. However, the sport complex there is no longer use. However, the structure and design look really nice and modern.

My friend and I experienced the Greece weather to be most wonderful in early winter and the food was plentiful the availability of different varieties of fruits was particularly interesting for us because both of us love tasting many different fruits. Our most memorable fruit was Greek avocados, they are the best we had ever tasted; it was creamy smooth and almost fibreless, the best avacado indeed and price was unbeatable jus €2 per kg for best fresh dark green avacado from surrounding greek islands. And of course how could we forget the Gyros ( fire roasted meat and vegetables wrapped in soft fluffy round bread) and cold beer in Greek Sun. And of course we enjoyed the ship rides to beautiful islands. We hope to visit Greece again in future. We love ♡ Greece. #givethanks

#mediterranean The Church of Panagia Kapnikarea (Greek: Εκκλησία της Παναγίας Καπνικαρέας) or just Kapnikarea (Greek: Καπνικαρέα) is a Greek Orthodox church and one of the oldest churches in Athens. It is estimated that the church was built some time in the 11th century, perhaps around 1050. As it was common with the early Christian churches, this was built over an ancient Greek temple dedicated to the worship of a goddess, possibly Athena. The church is located in the center of the modern city of Athens, right in the middle of the high-traffic shopping area of Ermou street, at the edge of the Plaka district. #greece #athens

#mytraveldiary Just a short drive from Athens, the Kaisariani Monastery felt like an oasis of peace. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Hymettus, it was surrounded by pine trees and wildflowers. The monastery itself was small but charming, with beautiful frescoes and a calm courtyard. I loved wandering the garden, where herbs and flowers grew in abundance, giving the air a sweet fragrance. The sound of bees and birds added to the serenity. It was easy to forget I was near a bustling capital. This hidden spot offered a perfect blend of nature, history, and tranquility. 🌸🌿 #mytraveldiary

#RegisterJanuaryHotelTester2025 When people think of Athens, they often think of the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and other magnificent historical sites. But few know that, hidden in the suburbs of Athens, lies a lush, verdant treasure: Mount Ymitos. On this trip to Athens, I decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and head to Mount Ymitos, seeking tranquility and a sense of belonging. Arriving at the foot of the mountain, I was greeted by rolling green hills, no longer a concrete jungle. The air was filled with the fragrance of pine trees and wildflowers, a stark contrast to the exhaust-filled air of the city. I chose a relatively easy route, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking. With blooming wildflowers and fluttering butterflies, it felt like stepping into a natural landscape. The climb wasn't always smooth sailing; the path was sometimes steep and winding, requiring considerable stamina. But the scenery along the way kept me motivated and made me forget my fatigue. I admired the mountain scenery, breathed in the fresh air, and felt the charm of nature. Occasionally, I encountered locals strolling through the mountains. They greeted me warmly and shared their experiences and anecdotes. Halfway up the mountain, I stopped to rest and gazed out over the Athens Basin. The sight before me was breathtaking: the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the modern architecture all lay clearly before me. The sun shone on the Athens Basin, painting the entire city a golden hue, creating a beautiful scene. At that moment, I felt as if I were in the clouds, overlooking this historic city and taking in its charming blend of ancient and modern. Continuing to climb, the path became steeper, requiring the use of both hands and feet. But the arduous climb was rewarded with even more magnificent views. Standing at the top, I could see the entire Athens Basin and the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea. The mountain breeze brought a cool breeze, refreshing my body and mind, and all my fatigue melted away. At the summit, I discovered some ancient ruins, believed to belong to ancient Athenians. Though dilapidated, these ruins still exude a sense of history, allowing me to sense the passage of time and the vicissitudes of history. I sat beside the ruins, quietly absorbing the sediment of history and imagining what life must have been like for ancient Athenians here. On my way down, I took a different route and discovered even more unexpected sights. For example, a stream hidden in the valley, its clear waters gurgling, birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers, teeming with life. I sat by the stream, listening to the murmur and feeling the tranquility and peace of nature. After descending, I found a traditional Greek restaurant at the foot of the mountain and enjoyed a delicious lunch. The restaurant's dishes, featuring local specialties, were fresh and delicious, leaving me with a lasting impression. The restaurant's owner, a warm and welcoming elderly man, enthusiastically shared the history and culture of Mount Hymettus with me in his broken English. This trip to Mount Hymettus allowed me to experience a unique charm of Athens. Here, there's no bustling city, only tranquil mountains, fresh air, and beautiful scenery. Mount Hymettus is more than just a mountain; it's a treasure trove of greenery. It allowed me to find a peaceful space amidst the bustling city and gave me a deeper understanding of Athens. I will always remember this tranquility, beauty, and the indescribable feeling of being moved. This journey was more than just a physical climb; it was a spiritual awakening. I believe this feeling will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Travel opens your mind and fills your soul with joy! Explore the world, embrace new cultures, and create memories that will last a lifetime. #songkran2024 ✈️🌎✨

The Royal Clipper that sails out of Athens is a great luxury experience. Even though it is only for about 250 people, it provides excellent entertainment. The piano player was especially talented. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Athens is known for many famous things, but street art is usually not one of them. But there are street art walking tours you can take if that is something that interests you. Mondern wonders to match the Ancient wonders. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

When I was a child, I watched the myths and fairy tales of a whole shelf. The Mount Olympus, which is constantly mentioned in Greek mythology, is now in sight. In most parts of Athens, this mountain covered with temples can be clearly seen. This is a city under the blessing of God. The patron saint is Athena standing on the side of peace. After N centuries, wars and disputes continue, and even face the embarrassing situation of bankruptcy, it can still not eradicate the period of Athens Academy. The culture left by the prosperity. I think the Athens under the clouds is more beautiful than the clear sky, and the fascinating scenery complements the ruined walls.

Coming to Athens, in addition to the world-famous Acropolis, the night on the hills of Cavites is also a big attraction. Likavidos is the highest point in Athens. Standing on the hill overlooking the city of Athens, you can also see the Acropolis not far away, and you can see the coastline a little further. The best time to watch is from sunset to night. In the summer evening, many couples come here for a date, and it is quite romantic to sit on the top of the mountain and enjoy the whole of Athens. playing mode: If you have confidence in your physical strength, the Acropolis will be able to follow the navigation and go up the mountain, about 40-50 minutes; people who are not physically strong should not force themselves, you can take the cable car, 7.5 Euro / Don't miss it: There is also a viewing restaurant on the hill that overlooks the Acropolis. If you don't want to stand on the platform of many people, you can come here to enjoy the Athens night, the waiter has a nice white brother. Oh~

The May Day holiday is coming, and it is time to feed the pigeons. Where should I go to feed the pigeons this time? Do you have any immature ideas?

Listening to the legends of the gods in Athens Greece not only has a beautiful island of Santorini, the capital of Athens is a famous historical city full of stories and world-famous. Remember the place where Saint Seiya received the sacred clothing of the Pegasus and the 12 Golden Palaces that defended Athena? The author has no less to learn from the shape of the Acropolis, as the iron powder must come here for pilgrimage. Speaking of the must-see attractions in Athens, it is none other than the Acropolis. Although it is a mottled relic, but the sense of history is strong, it can give people a glimpse of the top grand occasion. In addition to the classic sights such as the Temple of Athena and the theater, various sculptures are also one of the highlights. At the top of the Acropolis, you can see the Temple of Zeus, the sights of the city of Athens and the Aegean Sea. It is a good place for local dating and the night view is even better. The cats and stars who are free to play can be seen everywhere inside and outside the Acropolis. In addition, going to the Constitution Square to watch the changing ceremony, the University Street worshipping the philosophy of the gods, or feeling the sportsmanship in the Olympic Park, are very good choices. A lot of olive and orange trees are planted on both sides of the streets of Athens. It is very interesting. Can't you miss the Greek seafood octopus and dairy products, are the foods heartbeat?

Greek-Irish architect John Consolras pioneered the B&B scene in Athens. His stylish townhouse is situated on a quiet street in the ancient town of Plaka with only four bright, separate rooms, so book it in front. Neoclassical features abound (high ceilings, wrought iron balconies, creaking wooden stairs), but the appearance is marginal eclecticism, not old-fashioned twill. The first floor feels like a real home with a library, phonograph and kitchen diners. Breakfast (appropriate coffee, homemade cake, squeezing your own orange juice) is a public service that takes in the secret courtyard in the summer.

Athens is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years. The ruined walls in the city make the whole city look a little broken, but it does not affect its charm. The place that Athens attracted me was its history and Greek mythology. It was the earliest contact with it. It may be the childhood Saint Seiya, and later there are various Greek-related movies, Athena, Zeus, Hera goddess. , Apollo, Poseidon, Hermes, Medusa, etc., each character has some intricate relationship, come to Athens, just to go to every place to listen to the interpreter, to understand all this The ins and outs.
