A travel guide to Athens, Greece

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Greece, the cradle of democracy, is a beautiful country, robust, rich in history. It has about 1,600 islands, only 170 are inhabited. Half the population of ten million people live in Athens.

This lively city is a good central point from which to see Greece. The white marble of the Parthenon on the Acropolis is impressive. The Acropolis is sometimes called the sacred rock. It sits atop a limestone rock 512 meters and was built to defend the city in 1500 BC, 1000 years later destroyed, and rebuilt in 450 BC.

Three other buildings on the site, in addition to the Parthenon. The Erechtheum is a temple in honor of Poseidon and Athena. The Propylaea is a monumental gateway. At right is the temple of Athena Victory or Nyke without wings. The last building, the Museum of the Acropolis, houses numerous works of art have been discovered since the excavation began in 1835.

At night, the Acropolis is the site of the Son and of light or sound and light show. The entrance is actually off the Acropolis. The first time I tried to find ways around the base of the Acropolis. This seems to be the way to a lover and was very tempting to stay and enjoy the view in the balmy air.

The show, in English, is every night unless there is a full moon. The audience sits in chairs across from the Acropolis, which is illuminated from different places at different times in different colors to illustrate a story sealed in the history of the Acropolis. It takes about 30 minutes.

After that, it is within walking distance of Plaka. This area is two blocks from restaurants and cafes filled up the hill of the Acropolis. It is impossible to walk the streets without appealing to the servers to try his restaurant: “Just look at our menu price, good food, good music, come and look around ..” they say in perfect English.

What to see in Brighton?

Brighton is a very popular resort for the people of London and is sometimes called in London by the sea.

The most important monument of the city is the Royal Pavilion. This pavilion was built in the Indo-Saracenic style, like the Taj Mahal, which was common in India at the time.
