Athens Greece
Athens is the capital of Greece. It was also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire. The city is still dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks, including the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel topped with ancient buildings like the colonnaded Parthenon temple. The Acropolis Museum, along with the National Archaeological Museum, preserves sculptures, vases, jewelry and more from Ancient Greece.
I'm an American living in Romania. On my channel I will share with the viewer through video and photos the places I visit as well as share my honest opinions the positive and the negatives about living as an expat.

Брат Иосиф - Избранник Божией Матери (with English subtitles)
At the end of October 1997, a terrible event occurred, one that shook the entire Orthodox world. In Greece, a young Romanian brutally murdered Joseph, Jose, Muñoz-Cortes, guardian of the renowned Miracle-working, Myrrh-streaming Iveron Icon of the Mother of God: The Keeper of the Portal.
An obituary compiled by the members of the Icon's House Society in Montreal stated: We live in a time of the flowering of spirituality, but only of satanic spirituality -- a time when all that is of Christ, of Jesus, of God, evokes a tormenting irritation in carnal man and a rabid malice in the deluded. One of those deluded men brutally murdered Jose Munoz-Cortes, the guardian of the Miracle-working, Myrrh-streaming Icon of the Mother of God, the Keeper of the Portal.
In the fall of 1982, through ways unfathomable to the mind, an Orthodox Spaniard, an instructor of art history at the University of Montreal, was called by the Lord to a special service, which he was allowed to bring to its conclusion with a martyric death. In the face of his death, questions far from those contained in the police inquiry involuntarily arise.
What did he feel when he first visited the Nativity Skete on Holy Mount Athos, where, as if accidentally, he noticed the Iveron Mother of God Icon? How did he understand the words of the Abbot of the Skete, Fr. Clement, when he unexpectedly yielded to the requests of the visiting young iconographer, saying, The Most-Holy Virgin will leave with you?
In what way was the gradual realization of the miracle expressed for him -- from that very day, November 24, 1982, when Jose woke up in his Montreal apartment around three o'clock in the morning and noticed a blessed scent of unknown origin wafting over to him?
The Lord lead him with His mighty hand and His lofty design, and under these circumstances everything in the life of the future guardian of the Miracle-working Icon developed without artifice, and if it is possible to say so, naturally.
An offspring of an ancient race, Jose was born in 1948 (1950) to a pious Catholic family in Chile. In 1962 while living in Santiago the 14-year-old boy was struck by the Orthodox divine services in the local Holy Trinity and Kazan Mother of God Church. He found himself in the church accidentally, as it were, while on the way to the Catholic cathedral. Two years later Archbishop Leonty of Chile baptized him into Orthodoxy. He studied theology in college for three years. Later, he wanted to accept monasticism, but there was not a men's community where he had moved in Canada. Therefore, he continuously turned with prayers to the Most-Pure Theotokos that she show him his path, praying: There I will go.
He was certainly granted the possibility to stand before a miracle in this world, the kind of miracle that is impossible to comprehend. And the Holy miracle-working Icon, the Hope of those without Hope has healed not only the bodies but also the souls of those who turn to it, taming cruel hearts, bestowing the gift of tears, helping to find hope.
Whoever saw the faces of the people, Orthodox and heterodox alike, in the many parish churches and monasteries to which Brother Jose brought the grace-filled myrrh-streaming Icon entrusted to him, the Icon of the Keeper of the Portal which opened the gates of heaven to the faithful, that person could not but comprehend, to the extent possible, how awesome and difficult to bear was the obedience given to this man, and how intolerable it must have been for the ancient serpent, the enemy of the Church of Christ.
In the sixth kontakion of the wonderful akathist to the Montreal Myrrh-Streaming Icon it is correctly noted: You chose as the proclaimer of your miracles and the keeper of your icon in the Russian Diaspora not a bishop, not a prince, nor a monastic instructor, but an ordinary man from a foreign people, that no one might boast before God of his earthly origin. Rather that we may praise the praiseworthy, to know the Lord and in an Orthodox manner to call to Him: Alleluia.
The more blinding the uncreated light of Christ's miracles, the darker it is in the kingdom of this age. The murder of Jose Munoz-Cortes, guardian of the Miracle-working Icon of the Mother of God, is, we trust, still one more sign of the depletion of the branches of our time that have lived out their usefulness and a sign of the impending (rapid) approach of the victory that overcometh the world. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20)
Greece Travel Series - Athens
Hey, Wanderlusters!
Have you been looking into booking a Greek vacation? Well my four-part travel series will get you on the right track to make your visit to Greece that much smoother and efficient. I'll be breaking it down to four videos:
- Athens
- Zakynthos
- Mykonos
- Santorini
On this video, I'm talking about the historic capital of Europe: Athens. Here are a couple of tips and places I went to that'll guide you in the right direction:
Athens:
-Make sure you bring cash (applies for all of Greece).
- Plaka is the best neighborhood for the Athenian experience.
- When landing at ATH, take the Metro to Sytagma Square instead of a taxi (it will save you 25 Euro).
- Stay at the Niki Hotel if you're looking for a well-located budget hotel in Plaka (nikiathenshotel.com).
- Places to eat by Acropolis - Cave of Acropolis or Bairaktaris.
- Check out a sunset at the Acropolis (it's free on the hill).
- Athens has 3 major ports for ferry departures/arrivals - Piraeus, Rafina & Lavrion.
- If in Rafina, check out any of the restaurants along the marina for an authentic Greek meal with a view.

STORYLINE
With just one year to go before the opening of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, a special ceremony was held in Lausanne, Switzerland on Wednesday to invite 201 national Olympic committees to the summer games.
During the ceremony at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters, President Jacques Rogge and Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki, head of the organising committee for Athens 2004 expressed confidence about the Greek capital's preparations for the summer games.
Organisers acknowledged there was still much to be done on an organisational level to ensure a successful games.
Nevertheless, both Rogge and Angelopoulos-Daskalaki expressed confidence that schedules were being met, and that everything in Athens would be ready in time.
Regarding security at the games, Rogge said that every measure humanly possible was being implemented.
Angelopulus-Daskalaki said a series of rigorous training exercises had been undertaken for all security personnel.
The ceremony finished with Rogge issuing the official invitations to the games.
In Athens, the government has been accused of of shoddy preparations for next year's games by the main opposition conservative party.
New Democracy deputy Fani Pali-Petralia said two Olympic test events held so far show the government had done a poor job in choosing sites and organising personnel.
In two test events held so far, rowing and archery, high winds created difficulties for athletes.

Crisi: tassisti in sciopero ad Atene, giovedì summit Ue
Atene paralizzata dallo sciopero dei tassisti. Sono bloccate le vie di accesso all'aeroporto internazionale della capitale e al porto del Pireo da oltre 2mila auto gialle che hanno dato vita ad un lunghissimo convoglio. Disagi per 16mila vacanzieri.
I tassisti temono che le misure di liberalizzazione volute dal governo colpiscano il settore.
Ho venduto la mia proprietà per comprare il taxi perché non ho un lavoro - spiega un autista - Sono pronto a perdere la vita per evitare che questi hooligans si prendano i soldi che ho speso per l'auto.

Amesterdão - Holanda: 17 a 20 Julho 2010
Apesar do papel de guia administrativo da Holanda seja na Haia, eis a verdadeira capital da Holanda: um milhão de habitantes, um fluxo incessante de turismo, principalmente de jovens, Amsterdã é uma cidade esplêndida e cheia de vida e de possibilidades de divertimento e de cultura.
Apesar do porto mais famoso da Holanda ser o de Roterdão, não pode ser subestimada a importância da escala de Amsterdã que entre armazéns, estaleiros e escala de passageiros cria enormes oportunidades de trabalho. É exactamente ao redor do porto que se desenvolveu o centro mais tradicional desta cidade delimitada em todos os sentidos pela água: mar de um lado e as bacias do rio Amstel, praticamente inteiramente canalizado e do Ij. Construída sobre 90 ilhas, coligadas por 500 pontes, a data de fundação de Amsterdã remonta a 1275: refúgio para os cristãos do Medievo e importante centro comercial torna-se símbolo da grandeza holandesa com a dinastia dos Orange que iniciam uma época de grande riqueza artística e de tráfegos. A cidade cresce sobre seus canais e principalmente sobre o Zuidersee transformado com diques e barragens em um grande lago. As guerras e os contínuos conflitos, com a Inglaterra, mas também com a França e principalmente com a segunda guerra mundial quando o país foi invadido pela Alemanha, muitas vezes colocam em perigo a tranquilidade e a solidez de sua cidade símbolo: porém após todos os terramotos sociais Amsterdã levanta-se novamente de maneira brilhante.
Amsterdã é famosa por sua atmosfera especial, por sua compacidade. Os museus, os monumentos, as ruas com as lojas, os mercados e as outras atrações turísticas são próximas umas das outras. Em poucas centenas de metros encontram-se centenas de pontos de encontro e de interesse de valor absoluto: esplêndido o centro histórico, característico também o assim chamado bairro de luzes vermelhas, divertido todo o contexto dos locais onde gastronomia, cerveja e música ao vivo são um denominador constante por 365 dias ao ano. As três vias de água principais, Herengracht, Keizersgracht e Prinsengracht, constituem a coluna vertebral de um projeto de bacias e canais inferior, talvez, somente ao de Veneza. O aspecto cultural, ao centro do interesse dos cidadãos, é o Rijksmuseum, que expõe obras de grandes maestros holandeses do passado, o Vincet Van Gogh Museum e o Stedlelijk Museum que hospeda obras de arte moderna.
Amsterdam - Netherlands: 17 to 20 July 2010
Amsterdam is the true capital of the Netherlands, and a magnificent city of art, culture and entertainment, with a population of one million inhabitants. It is also the country's second port, after Rotterdam, with large warehouses, shipyard and passenger terminal.
The original city center, which developed around the port, is literally surrounded by water. It has the sea on one side and the docks, Amstel river and canals on the other. Amsterdam was built on 90 islands and is connected by 500 bridges. Its foundation dates back to 1275, when it was a shelter for Christians and an important commercial center.
Under the Orange dynasty it became the symbol of Dutch wealth, enjoying a period of artistic grandeur and commercial wealth. Several wars and conflicts with England and France, plus German occupation during World War II, jeopardized the status and development of the city. However, Amsterdam was able to recover and prosper. One of its greatest projects was to reclaim the Zuidersee.
The city is particularly compact, with most museums, monuments, shopping streets, markets and other tourist attractions in close proximity. The city is renowned for being a center of the diamond trade. The historical center is charming, and in the so-called hard quarter the bars and restaurants offer food, beer and live music, 365 days a year.
The three main waterways, the Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, comprise the core of the canal network, comparable to Venice in extent and intricacy. The cultural center of the city includes the Rijksmuseum, which exhibits work of the Dutch masters, the Vincent Van Gogh Museum, and the modern art Stedelijk Museum.
