Athens Through New Eyes: A Traveler's Surprising First Impressions of the Ancient City
Athens, Greece - A Spanish traveler, Oliver Atlas, recently shared his captivating first impressions of Athens, challenging preconceived notions about the ancient city. Atlas, who arrived with low expectations based on others' descriptions of a "decadent" and "old" city, expressed profound surprise and admiration for Athens' unique charm. "It's a city that blends the ancient with the new in an incredible way," Atlas stated in his video. He described the surreal experience of enjoying a coffee on a street while gazing at the Parthenon, a testament to the city's rich history. He highlighted the impressive feat of the Parthenon's construction, completed in just nine years, humorously comparing it to the time it takes to build a roundabout in Spain. Beyond its historical monuments, Atlas praised Athens for its affordability, particularly the local cuisine. He showcased a 'gyros' priced at just 3.70 euros, emphasizing the value for money. He also noted Athens' historical significance as the oldest continuously inhabited European capital, a place where philosophical giants like Plato and Aristotle once walked. Atlas concluded by strongly recommending a visit to Athens, urging viewers not to miss the opportunity to experience its unique blend of history, culture, and vibrant modern life.
