Athens, a thousand and one cities -
When you climb up to the Acropolis,
keep looking at the view as you stroll
about. Every time you'll see another
city.
A city filled with contrasts and
surprises. Beautiful and varied. Every
second Athens becomes a different
city.
Ancient. And Byzantine. And
Neoclassical. And modern.
Crowded. And solitary.
And always smiling.
You can find Athen's smile
everywhere: in an ancient theatre, in a
modern exhibition hall, at a sports
event, down by the sea, high on a
mountain top during a guided tour, at
a concert, around the table in a
tavernaki, in a garden during a posh
reception, in a little alleyway, in a
spacious square, behind the mast of a
sailboat or next to the column of an
old temple. Or somewhere near a
contemporary sculpture.
Athens is always another city.
