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-Crowed. 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, ai 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 somewnere near a contemporary sculpture. Athens is
always another city. A city that doesn't resemble Athens. Yet
is always the same Athens
