ATHENS | GREECE | GR | 2022 | driving tour | day

Driving Tour
Athens is both the capital and largest city of Greece. With a population close to four million, it is also the seventh largest city in the European Union. Athens dominates and is the capital of the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years and its earliest human presence beginning somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennia BC.
Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. It was a centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, and the home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, largely because of its cultural and political influence on the European continent-particularly Ancient Rome. In modern times, Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece.

Athens is such a strange beast. On one hand is has absolut stunning and beautiful places, lots of life , hospitality and friendly people but on the other hand such rundown and breathtakingly ugly places that reminded me of a nuclear disaster scenery.

[@cbarak72]

The main problem with Athens is that due to construction laws you can't have tall buildings that exceed the height of the Acropolis. If this wasn't the case there could be skyscrapers which would free a lot of space for parks and public spaces.

[@Niki-tu7jz]

You are wrong,...Athens is really beautiful ❤

[@stelios5314]

​​@@cbarak72 Thats not a problem lol. The buildings in Athens are taller than they should be. The 7 storey buildings are the ugly ones, while the neoclassical 3-4 storey buildings are the beautiful ones. The beautiful cities of the world are those that dont have skyscrapers and have respected their historical beauty (Paris, Budapest, Florence, etc). I couldnt imagine a skyscraper ina close distance to the Acropolis. This would be an actual crime.

[@wanwahab1507]

great video. I can see there’s not much traffic on the road. Is there any fee if we park at the roadside?

[@tedn6855]

To me it is unbelievable like a simulation of what Athens looks like without people. I have never seen anything like this.

it doesn't look like Europe

[@user-en6zl1cm5r]

What does it look like to you? Just curious. Someone who travels a lot told me it reminded her of Amman, Jordan.

[@vapalaca]

Doesn’t look like Paris nor London but Athens has more heart and soul than any other city in EU!

[@arthurdaynee]

Does it. Looks like Istanbul.

Incredibly average capital city. Especially considering that 3 and a half million people live here.

You must be American who cannot appreciate anything non-American!

Looks mid af tbh. Also nobody use indicators and bikes dont use helmet, looks like your typical SE asia country mixed with some Eastern Europe distopia with all graffitis around

[@Dim-J]

​@@arya_shm I love this comment

[@-wj4qw]

Well each city and country is different don’t forget that Athens and Greece in general has gone through far more changes than the cities and countries you are comparing. It’s been through ottoman rule for 400 years that destroyed almost anything in sight and has been through two world wars and a civil war. It’s a very old and historic country and you should do some research before criticising. Plus the main tourist income in Greece doesn’t come from the capital like it does in most European countries. Greece has to offer so much more than just a classic European city which you can find anywhere in Europe, Greece is extremely unique and beutiful, with the 2nd best cuisine in the world (rated by google research) and beaches that you won’t find anywhere ales on the planet. So some graffiti is not that big of a problem when you have such a versatile and rich scenery and culture.
