Back in time: Athens

 The city of Athens is a majestic place. It is a capital of Greece and is known as one of the oldest cities in the world. Here was the earliest human presence around 11th-7th millennium BC. Classical Athens was a center for the arts, architecture, learning and philosophy. Also democracy was found here. 
We stayed there in an apartment which is located in the city center near Ermou street. Ermou is a half kilometer shopping street. Here you can find brands which are local and popular in Europe. We did a little shopping too. I bought clothes and cosmetics at Stradivarius, H&M, Bershka and Sephora. 
However the city left a bigger impression. We climbed into the hill to see Acropolis. On the top of the hill we were amazed by beautiful panoramic view of Athens. This place has three main objects. Its Parthenon, old temple of Athena and Erechtheum. All these monuments are legacy of old civilization. It's unbelievable how these ancient building survived all these years! It is really a magnificent place which you must see once in a lifetime.
When we came down the hill we saw ancient Agora. It was also a city. Except it was for lower rank people at that time, They also had a temple which in my opinion was in the best condition of all old buildings. 
Even though it was very hot we tried to stay hydrated and enjoyed our walk at historical place.
Have you ever been to Athens?

Love,S
