20 Things to do in Athens Greece Top Attractions Travel Guide Transcript:
Well, good afternoon from sunny Athens. We are currently exploring the Greek capital. We recently actually spent a few days traveling around Meteora and now we're finishing up our trip here in Athens. We've got two full days to explore the city which isn't a lot of time but we're going to try to do our best.
Our first stop was one of the most recognized sights in Athens - the Parthenon, which was dedicated to the goddess Athena who was seen as the patron of Athens.
After sunset we lingered atop Mount Lycabettus for some night views of the city before taking the funicular down to the bottom. Seeing the Acropolis all lit up at night was a pretty cool sight!
Next up we visited the Temple of Zeus which once housed the statue of Zeus, and was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
When it comes to shopping, there are a few different options. We made our way to Monastiraki, which is one of the principal shopping districts in Athens. Here we visited both the Flea Market and the antique shops in the area.
The Agora was the central spot in ancient Greek city-states, and it is where people gathered.
So we are wrapping up our time here in Athens. Any surprises or final thoughts to share? Yeah, something that really surprised me were just the amount of stray animals that I saw on the streets.
I also thought there was really good dining options as well. We had a number of really good Greek meals and also some really good International food too.
Final thoughts, I think this is a really underrated capital in Europe. A lot like Warsaw in Poland so if you have an opportunity to visit Athens in Greece definitely do so.
So what did you think of Athens? Well, I thought it was a really cool city and I actually had a great time here. It kind of reminded me a little bit of Tel Aviv with the Mediterranean feel but also Berlin because it is very artsy and gritty. So it's a really cool place to check out. Great food, lots of attractions. You have a mix of antiquity with urban.
And that's a wrap for Athens! We hope you enjoyed this city guide and that it'll come in handy when you plan your own trip.
This is part of our Travel in Greece series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Greek culture, Greek arts, Greek foods & Greek cuisine.

Pamukkale & Hierapolis, Turkey in 4K Ultra HD
Pamukkale, Turkey is known for its mineral hot springs flowing down white travertine terraces, its name means Cotton Castle in Turkish. Pamukkale is also the site of the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis: an important Hellenistic, and later - Roman city, famous for its hot springs used as a spa. Multiple earthquakes damaged the city during the centuries. The well preserved ruins include a theater, a necropolis with sarcophagi, temples and antique baths with submerged Roman columns. Pamukkale and Hierapolis are UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Laodicea (Laodikeia) is another ancient greco-roman city, its ruins are located between Pamukkale and the nearby city of Denizli. It was one of the wealthiest cities of the ancient world, and one of the early centers of Christianity - its church is one of the seven, addressed in the Book of Revelation.

#Skopje #Macedonia. Is it the worst and ugliest city in the world?
Have you ever heard anything about Macedonia? Honestly, the only thing I knew was that it is formerly a federal unit of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We are almost ready to land at the Skopje Alexander the Great Airport, and you're probably wondering why is this airport named after Alexander the Great.
#Skopje #Macedonia #Скопје #Македонија #MacedoniaSkopje #SkopjeMacedonia #Скопье #Македония #Skoplje #Shkupi #Shkup #Skoplje #Скопље #Üsküp
Macedonia naming dispute is a political dispute regarding the use of the name Macedonia itself between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia. The specific naming dispute, although an existing issue in Yugoslav–Greek relations since World War II, was reignited after the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Finally we are here. Skopje Alexander the Great Airport is one of two international airports in the country. It serves around ten destinations, and all of them are flights to Europe, except the only one to Istanbul, Turkey. It is located 17 km southeast of the national capital Skopje. You can get to the centre within 30 minutes by shuttle buses starting from the terminal almost every hour.
Basically, one day for getting around the city of Skopje is more than enough.
The city is a combination of Soviet architecture and modern kitsch. They say that the country received a lot of money for the development of the tourism industry, which were put on the creation of strange buildings. Yes, they look rich, but quite tasteless and pretentious.
If you ask me which city has the biggest density of monuments, I would definitely say it’s Skopje. Let’s take a walk to Macedonia Square, main square of Skopje and the biggest square in Macedonia. There’s located the biggest and the highest monument with Alexander the Great on Bucephalus, which was unveiled in 2011, on the 20-year anniversary of Macedonia's independence referendum from Yugoslavia. At 22 metres, or eight storeys high, the statue makes its surroundings look small and unimportant.
While the expressed aim of multi-million Euro project was to attract international investment and tourism to Skopje its international reception gives a measure of the overall cost of this project to the city’s reputation. The Guardian, for instance, ran with How Skopje became Europe’s new capital of kitsch, while CNN asked Is Macedonia’s capital being turned into a theme park? The government’s ambition has been to create a new national identity by rewriting history like many other post-socialist cities around the Europe do.
But Skopje also has some great examples of brutalist architecture – a style typified by geometric themes and raw concrete. It occurs all over the formerly communist area of Yugoslavia. In 1965 famous Japanese architect Kenzō Tange was asked by the United Nations to enter a limited competition for the redevelopment of Skopje. The town had been heavily destroyed by an earthquake in 1963. Macedonian architects also took part to the reconstruction. The reconstruction turned Skopje into a proper modernist city, with large blocks of flats, concrete buildings and scattered green spaces.
One of the biggest constructions in the city centre is Gradski Trgovski Centar, partly open-air shopping mall designed by Živko Popovski. Located just by the main square it is the oldest shopping mall in Skopje. This great modernist building was on the news in December, 2014 when Macedonian citizens protested the government's plan to cover this landmark with an idiotic “baroque” facade.
Now let’s get up higher to the mountains. Skopje Fortress, commonly referred to as Kale, is a historic fortress located in the old town of Skopje. It is situated on the highest point in the city overlooking the Vardar River. Scholars believe that the fortress was constructed under the orders of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. Much of information on Kale is speculative. The first academic digs began in 2006, and uncovered evidence of human activity dating back to 3000 BC. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot to see within the fortress itself; archaeologists are still slowly excavating the site. The city had begun to build a church-shaped museum inside, but this caused a violent confrontation between Muslims and Christians, so now there’s only a metal skeleton.
Near the fortress you may find Old Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest marketplaces in the Balkans, it has been Skopje's centre for trade and commerce since at least the 12th century. It is the most interesting part of Skopje for visitors and tourists, offering a trip back in time and a profound experience of the Macedonian culture and tradition. But be careful about your purse and belongings.
Izmit: City of Untold Treasures (Ancient Nicomedia)
Directed, produced, and edited by Nate Hovee, this NTG Production Izmit introductory film provides a unique look at one of Turkey's best kept archaeological secrets. Located approximately 90 kilometers east of Istanbul at the eastern tip of the Marmara Sea, Izmit today serves as one of the primary industrial centers in the Anatolian region. Underneath this bustling modern city lie the ancient ruins and treasures of Nicomedia, a prosperous and richly decorated city that once stood as one of the four pillars of the Roman Empire. Though recent findings of ancient artifacts, tombstones, and buildings have revealed the incredible wealth of Izmit's past, little excavation and archaeological research has been carried out.
Discover the ancient history and hidden wonders of Izmit, Turkey, and the greater Kocaeli Province in this unique video presentation and tour of unknown archaeological sites dating back thousands of years. Closed captions (CC) are available in Turkish, and additional information can be found at the official Kocaeli website: .
