Greece

Hello everybody!

What's up? Hope everything's fine 😊

I'm back with new ideas! This time I'm going to present you Greece, a country full of breath-taking places. Therefore, I am not able to describe all Greece in one publication. I hope it won't be boring for you and this country will become interesting for you, as well worth to visit. So, let's explore Greece!

Athens

Of course, up first, I have to describe a capital city of Greece. This city is a cradle of European civilisation. There are two prominent symbols - Acropolis and Agora.

Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel situated ona rocky outcrop above Athens. The word acropolis means highest point. Acropolis possesses several ancient buildings. In general, the architecture of this citadel is pulchritudinous and, of course, worth to see. One of the most popular building, which is situated on Acropolis of Athens, is Parthenon. Parthenon is a temple dedicated to goddess Athena, a patron of Athens.

According to Grek mythological figures, I have to mention a Temple of Olympian Zeus. This monument is located at the centre of Athens.

A major theatre in Athens was The Theathre of Dionysus, dedicated to him, of course. Dionysus was the god of plays and wine. It was the first stone theatre in the world. Nowadays, we can see the ruins of this entertainment place.

Agora was a central public space in ancient Greece. The word agora means gathering place or assembly. In this place, Greeks could practice an athletic, art or political life.

The next place I would like to mention is Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, knows as Metropolis. This is a cathedral church of the Arcbishopric of Athens and all Greece.

To stray from the ancient Athens, I would like to say something about contemporary Athens. At first sight Athens seem to be mediterranean but later we can notice a european-oriental character of this city. Athens, nowadays, are famous of best rastaurants, bars, clubs or taverns.

As you can see, Athens are full of noteworthy places. I won't describe all of them because it could be too boring. 😉
In general, Athens are famous of its ancient side, without any doubts. If you are interested in ancient Greece, you have to visit Athens!

I'll continue next time. See ya!
