WALKING IN ATHENS

You are standing at the crossroads around Omonia Square and can hardly believe that not too far from where you are stands the enormous Hill of Acropolis.

From high above it survey the happenings going on below for the past 2500 years and with its alluring aura calls you to walk amongst the historical triangle of Athens – with itself at the center.

If, at some point, it loses you from its view, it is because you have gotten so close to it that if you look up – suddenly seeing it again – you think you can actually reach up and touch it.

Whether you are an Athenian or just a visitor, a careful look at the landmark of Athens with always surprise you.

Like a well directed, daring flash back, a hill with an elegant piece of architectural art atop it gathers around it the pulsating life of Athens and invites you to explore it.
