  • Athens Survival Guide of the Historic City of the Gods!
    Welcome to Athens Survival guide of the historic city of the gods! Maps Tips: use your google maps guide or use the traditional way of a paper map. Download OASA Telematics application for buses. A hidden island in the heart of Athens! Anafiotika The great city of Athens, Greece is made up of numerous small villages that have melded together over the years. Plaka is the most ancient, original part of the city where most of the archaeological sites are located. Just up on the hill above Plaka, under the flank of the Acropolis (“the high city”) there is the tiny village of Anafiotika, so unique and so beautiful and totally different from the city. You have this amazing sense of being in a different place, on an island and you can enjoy the scenery, the beauty of it and the silence away from all he noises of the city. Plaka One of the most picturesque neighborhoods in Athens, with its narrow streets, lovely colourful neoclassical buildings, small cafes, traditional tavernas, souvenir shops and ancient ruins in almost every corner. Plaka is in the heart of the center of Athens, just under the Acropolis hill, yet has a totally different air than the rest of the city center, creating a feeling of nostalgia of the old Athens. Even though it is very commercial and popular with tourists, it is the ideal place to enjoy a nice walk, as there are plenty of things to do and see, while strolling around its small pedestrian streets. Tips *bar: Brettos *cafe: Yiasemi Bistro *taverna: Byzantino Monastiraki square In the heart of the Athens center, Monastiraki Square is a unique blend of styles, eras and cultures.

The current juncture of the confiscation of Eva Stefani’s work and the impending trial of the Art Athina organizers (see p. 7) should, I believe, be investigated accordingly.

  • Atene Quartieri
    ATENE Atene si trova nell'Attica, la regione della Grecia in cui nell'antichità sono fiorite la filosofia e la democrazia. E' la capitale e il cuore culturale della Grecia ed è una metropoli sospesa fra Oriente ed Occidente, fra antico e moderno, un luogo che custodisce i fasti del passato ma sa anche aprirsi alla modernità. Nell'area di Atene vivono quasi 5 milioni di persone, ovvero un quarto dell'intera popolazione della Grecia. I problemi della città sono quelli tipici delle metropoli ovvero il traffico e lo smog, anche se molti sono i cambiamenti in corso mirati a combattere questi inconvenienti, primo fra tutti l'espansione della metropolitana. Tra i monumenti, celeberrima in tutto il mondo è l'Acropoli (da Akro Poli, città che sta sopra) un complesso di edifici dell'antichità senza eguali al mondo. Tra questi spicca il Partenone, un tempio del periodo classico considerato da tutti il tempio per eccellenza, l’opera perfetta per semplicità e armonia. Le ricchezze archeologiche di Atene sono immense. Per averne un'idea è consigliata una visita al Museo Archeologico Nazionale che ospita numerosi tesori. Profumata di mitologia, afflitta dalla sporcizia, Atene è una città amabile vivacizzata da caffè all'aperto, strade pedonali, parchi, giardini e curiosità urbane. Se riuscirete a entrare nella mentalità degli ateniesi, potreste non accorgervi neppure dello strato di nefos (smog) che aleggia sulla vostra testa. Questa città potrà anche sembrare una giungla di cemento, ma al di là di questo aspetto tutt'altro che piacevole si cela una sorta di fascino decadente. Quasi non esistono case o appartamenti che non abbiano un balcone straripante di gerani, e le accese sfumature degli aranceti fanno da cornice a gran parte delle vie e delle piazze.

  • Athens Constituted the Cradle of Western Civilisation
    GREECE thens, having been inhabited since the Neolithic age, is considered Europe’s historical capital. During its long, Aeverlasting and fascinating history the city reached its zenith in the 5th century B.C (the “Golden Age of Pericles”), when its values and civilisation acquired a universal significance and glory. Political thought, theatre, the arts, philosophy, science, architecture, among other forms of intellectual thought, reached an epic acme, in a period of intellectual consummation unique in world history. Therefore, Athens constituted the cradle of western civilisation. A host of Greek words and ideas, such as democracy, harmony, music, mathematics, art, gastronomy, architecture, logic, Eros, eu- phoria and many others, enriched a multitude of lan- guages, and inspired civilisations. Over the years, a multitude of conque - rors occupied the city and erected splendid monuments of great signifi- cance, thus creating a rare historical palimpsest. Driven by the echo of its classical past, in 1834 the city became the capital of the modern Greek state. During the two centuries that elapsed however, it developed into an attractive, modern metropolis with unrivalled charm and great interest. Today, it offers visitors a unique experience. A “journey” in its 6,000-year history, including the chance to see renowned monu- ments and masterpieces of art of the antiquity and the Middle Ages, and the architectural heritage of the 19th and 20th cen- turies. You get an uplifting, embracing feeling in the brilliant light of the attic sky, surveying the charming landscape in the environs of the city (the indented coastline, beaches and mountains), and enjoying the modern infrastructure of the city and unique verve of the Athenians.
