Athens actually is bigger than 3 million i think, he probabably got the number from wikipedia, but in reality athens is always expanding so places that were not consider in athens have become one with the city of athens but in official papers in population ranking might seem as individual "cities", "villages" . This is common in greece and with other cities, to expand and become one with closer villages, small cities etc due to density of the place. Greece also has been a place that many immigrants have flee. Older by albania, bulgaria, romania etc, later by syria, pakistan, iraq, lybia and africa etc. For example those black guys you see in video are probably not in official population numbers. Greece has definently some millions of immigrants, the movement from albania and bulgaria was huge.

You do know that you can buy a common ticket for all the archeological sites of Athens, that it’s valid for one day. It’s much better that way.

For the love of god, if you are not interested in museums, clubs and sights that will make you broke the first two days, don't go to a big city. Especially Athens. Instead pick a nice and quiet town or even a village. The food, the hospitality and every good memory you make along the way will make you fall in love with the place and want to come back. 😁

[@ub3rfr3nzy94]

@@randomnoliferedditer7017 N.Macedonia is just a region of Bulgaria that was conquered by the Serbians. The communist regime taught them they were the true original Macedonians, this was because Tito had ambitions to take Macedonia from Greece so he had access to the Aegean. Of course, this never happened but the years of mental conditional had it's affect on the population. The region of North Macedonia was never part of actual Macedonia. During the Roman empire, the region of Macedonia was expanded with lands to the north being added to it after Roman conquests. But yeah, their country borders Macedonia but it was never actually inhabited really by the ancient Macedonians, that is why they lack all the greek ruins and the ones they do have come from a later period. The only part of North Macedonia that had Greeks living in it was the very south part on the border near that lake I don't remember the name of. Until the Balkan wars that area was inhabited by 200,000 Greeks anyway but the Bulgarians expelled them. That is why to this day many North Macedonians have Greek ancestry, the slavs there mixed with the Greeks that lived there in the Roman times. But it was never part of ancient Macedonia, only Roman Macedonia. Sorry for the long explanation.

[@Kavou]

There is also a city called Alexandroupoli but it doesn't have big lore really, most of the great anime characters from ancient greece came from either Athens or Macedonia or Sparta or any other place away from the North.

These trees that look like orange trees and are all around in the city of Athens (my city) are actually NOT orange trees. We call them "nerantzia". It look like orange but it tastes awful. Some old ladies use it for spoon syrop sweet. Otherwise is useless and that is the reason nobody harvest nerantzia from these trees.

[@Stormvermin-bx1lh]

Why not grow oranges or mandarins instead? Seems like a waste.

My family visited Athens, and on the hottest day in my life we climbed that hill to get to the Parthenon. It just felt like a disorganised construction site. I am a huge history nerd but I was deeply disappointed. Maybe I was suffering from heatstroke but there was nothing there to thrill me
