  • Tourists and visitors at the Parthenon at Acropolis of Athens. The Parthenon and other main buildings on the Acropolis were built by Pericles in the fifth century BC as a monument to the cultural and political achievements of the inhabitants of Athens. The term acropolis means upper city and many of the city states of ancient Greece are built around an acropolis where the inhabitants can go as a place of refuge in times of invasion. It's for this reason that the most sacred buildings are usually on the acropolis. It's the safest most secure place in town. As little as 150 years ago there were still dwellings on the Acropolis of Athens. Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. It dominates the Attica periphery and is one of the world's oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy.

  • Violent AEK Athens FC graffiti on a wall in the area of Exarhia. Exarcheia, alternatively spelled as Exarchia, Exarheia and Exarhia, is the name of a neighborhood in downtown Athens, Greece close to the historical building of the National Technical University of Athens. The Exarcheia region is famous as a stomping ground for Greek anarchists. It took the name from a merchant named Exarchos who opened a large general store there. Now this graffiti covered area is known as a home for students and members of the anarchist movement and a kind of no go area for tourists. Visitors to Athens can't help but notice the amount of graffiti in the city. Any surface that can be sprayed upon is covered with a maddening number of signatures and designs. Beautifully restored neo-classic houses from the late 19th Century usually have a few days or weeks before they are covered in graffiti and owners find themselves in a war that they eventually lose and surrender to the kids. Graffiti in Athens is as old as the city itself. In ancient times graffiti was carved into buildings, in fact the word comes from the Greek graphi which means to write. The most disturbing aspect of the graffiti besides the volume of it, is the way some of the kids whose artistic ability begins and ends with their names (tags), have defaced some of the real works of art. Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. It dominates the Attica periphery and is one of the world's oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy.

Every day taxis in Athens drive about 500.000 kilometers totaling up to 1.8 million kilometers a year. Taxis in Athens are cheap which accounts for the high number of kilometers yearly.

If you want to catch a taxi in the street, you often will have to shout your destination to the driver as he drives by. If he is not going your direction, he may not stop to pick you up. This is standard practice in Athens and not regarded upon as rude. Just flag the next taxi you see. Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece.

  • Graffiti on a wall in the area of Exarhia. Exarcheia, alternatively spelled as Exarchia, Exarheia and Exarhia, is the name of a neighborhood in downtown Athens, Greece close to the historical building of the National Technical University of Athens. The Exarcheia region is famous as a stomping ground for Greek anarchists. It took the name from a merchant named Exarchos who opened a large general store there. Now this graffiti covered area is known as a home for students and members of the anarchist movement and a kind of no go area for tourists. Visitors to Athens can't help but notice the amount of graffiti in the city. Any surface that can be sprayed upon is covered with a maddening number of signatures and designs.
