ATHENS. When you climb up to the hill up to the Acropolis, keep looking at the view as you stroll about. Every time you will see another Athens. 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 Athens isn't just the acropolis, Athens isn't only the squares at Syntagma and Omonia. And Attica isn't only Athens. Athens is made whole by the whole of Attica. And it is a lovely place to get to know. So many things await you: the majesty of Cape sounion, the quest for luck or nature on Mt. Parnes, sophisticated surprises on the ships at Piraeus or in its taverna's, Byzantine mosaics and gushing wine at Dafni, history at the tombs of Marathon, the sun setting into the Saronic Gulf, stalactites and stalagmites at Koutouki, the ancient theatre at Rhamnous, Byzantine gardens and mystical initiation at Kaisariani, modern life cheek by jowl with ancient memories and monuments at Eleusis, Brauron, Amphiaraion, Thorikos. Start getting to know Attica from its sky and mountains all the way down to its marinas.
