athens: more than the acropolis
about 40% of greece lives in athens. everyone knows of athens as the cradle of democracy, the center of western civilization for much of its formative years, but it is so much more.
old school greek smack down
mix in a bit of that byzantine/eastern orthodox flava
the absurd tourist trap that is the acropolis (i don't bash attractions often, but the acropolis is, in my opinion, totally spoiled by the HORDES of tourists crawling all over it and the constant construction, and this was the absolute lowest SEASON, by god, people must be falling off the edges in the summer)
new years in athens, a little rain an't gonna stop the party
the archaeological museum, neolithic > mycennian > archaic > classical > hellenic > roman, 10,000 years in a day (chronological order, well, roughly)
people
streets and scenes
word up to yo motha, up next is the greek mainland, olympia, delphi, meteoria
