Athens


Day 12

Athens. We arrive to a station that was not to main. We go for the central station. But there is not trains for there!! We should go of bus! But where it stayed the stop? Difficult of it uncover when little people speaks English and never of a fluent form. Larissa, Larissa. There we arrive, in the so much central station absence of information as in the another one or be we are full of sleep, we are going to arrange a small farm where stayed and dream that soon we go to the Acropole, the cradle of the society. Athens has a hot a lot, hot wind and also to Acrópole, we are going to see her. To Acrópole is impressive, as well as the price for see her inside. Like this they stayed us on the outside. Nevertheless it is impressive. And unexpectedly the best one of the Acrópole appears. The hill Aeropagos with excellent sights, an excellent sight for the Acrópole and to Ágora and the best one even is the wind that is going to feel, fresh, a delight. The neighborhood of Plaka, a lot well arranged and full of restaurants, taverns, is of the most typical one of Athens. In the Olympic stadium of Athens (the oldest one) feels the sweat of the effort of a marathon, feels the pride of the final victory. In the national garden behind the palace Zappeion, to shade of the trees and the song of the birds function like the perfect antidote for recuperate forces removed by the road and by the heat. There are also some Byzantine churches, all with an architectonic style very similar and private. In the market Flea finds-itself of everything a little, of bijutary to shoes, clothes militarized to jewelery. In Athens, at least in the that we walk, not itself payment in the buses. Measure social of incentive to the public transport. Less pollution, less I travel. Very well. And finally we arrive to the Athens of the Athenians. Already barely without tourists and that has like center the port. It is the zone of Pireu. The port is huge. Of the old port of the Greece old looks alone remain the location and the grandeur. Athens has 2 faces. A transcript, pretty thrilling. Another one grayer, current. In Athens can find itself ruins with 3000 years, that remember that image of society organized and cultural. Already it cannot be like this but the history already is not put out.
