The Greece Experience Part 1 - Athens

I visited Athens but I had very less knowledge about the city. There are no guided tours available in the tousist sites, not even signboards of explanation. Therefore, all we did was to take loads of photos (as what Asian tourists would normally do) without really understanding the historical sentiments.

The Parthenon of the Acropolis. It is arguably the signature building in the Acropolis. It was built to worship Athina, the goddess and protector of Athens (if I am not mistaken)

Athens is a laid-back city, and very different from other European cities. There are no high rise buildings like London or Shanghai. Perhaps it is the government's policy to keep the buildings at a certain height in order to maintain the antiquity feel of the city.
Greece has dry summers. Therefore you can't see trees or greenery on the hills surrounding Athens.

Kalimarmaro Stadium - it was built in 330 BC, and it hosted the first Olympic Games in 1896. Kalimarmaro means 'beautiful marbles'

In my view, there are no other interesting sites to visit in Athens, apart from the Acropolis and Filopapos Hill. You can skip the museums there. A word of advice: Next time when you visit to Athens, get a travel book which offers explanation about the history of the sites. Otherwise, all you got to see is just rocks and pillars.
