Where the Olympics Began and the Thunder Still Echoes

📍Athens – A Walk Through Ancient Glory Standing in the shadow of legends and marble giants 💫 🏟️ From the grand white stones of the Panathenaic Stadium, where history echoes the cheers of the first modern Olympic Games... ⚡ To the majestic ruins of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, once a tribute to the King of Gods — even though only a few columns remain, they still radiate divine power. 💬 Walking here felt like stepping into another time. The energy of this city is both ancient and alive — every ruin tells a story, every crack holds time. 📸 And yes, I couldn't resist pretending to be a champion sprinting on marble, and standing under Zeus's "thunder pillars" like a modern demigod. Would I return? Definitely. Greece, you’ve etched a mark on my heart. 📍Athens, Greece #travel_lover #museums #athens #zeus
