15 Things to do in Athens, Greece Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Αθηνα Ελλάδα):
In today’s video, we’re taking you to Athens!
Home to gods, goddesses and enough temples to house them all, the Greek capital is the place to get a glimpse of Ancient Greece.
This was our second time visiting the city, but with only 3 days, we decided to focus on the highlights. For us, that meant ancient ruins, lots of greek food, and a lookout point or two to catch the city looking her best right around sunset.
Let’s begin with the main attraction and a place that has dominated the city skyline for millennia: the Acropolis.
Contrary to popular belief, the Acropolis is not one single building, but rather, an ancient citadel which holds a few different structures.
The archaeological site is lined with ancient theatres, altars and temples, and once you reach the top, there are two places that will catch your eye.
The first is the Parthenon, an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.
The other, is the Erechtheum, another temple that was dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon. It’s hard to miss its Porch of the Maidens, with its six draped female figures acting as support columns.
it was just a short walk over to the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
Construction of this temple began in the 6th century BC and it wouldn’t be completed until the reign of Hadrian in the 2nd century AD.
It took about 638 years to build this temple, but it would have been the largest temple in Greece and one of the most impressive constructions of the ancient world.
While in Athens, we also climbed Mount Lycabettus.
This is a rather steep hill that rises 300 meters above sea level, and it’s a nice place to catch sunset over Athens.
As a travel tip: there is a funicular to take you up and down the hill if you want to save your legs!
In this video, we’re going to share with you 15 things to do in Athens, Greece, so let’s get started!
That’s a wrap for our guide to Athens!
We hope this video gave you a few ideas of what you can cover on a short visit.
If you have any other suggestions of things to do in Athens that you’d like to share with travellers, feel free to leave your travel tips in the comments below.
We’ll see you in the next video as we continue our travels through Greece.
This is part of our Travel in Greece video series showcasing Greek food, Greek culture and Greek cuisine.

4K Christmas in Athens, Greece! An unforgettable experience in the land of myths
Christmas in the Greek Capital: ATHENS!
Turning into a very special Christmas destination for this year’s holiday season, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center invites people of all ages to experience the holiday spirit, with
a rich and varied program inspired by the season’s magic! The ice rink at the Canal and the Christmas lighting set the stage for unforgettable holiday events for the whole family. Discover the secrets of the Park and find out how you can interact with the holiday lights!
Music abounds in SNFCC’s Christmas World! A number of
concerts are taking place, starting with the Simon Bolivar Trumpet Ensemble on 14/12, presenting exciting pieces from its repertoire, and, a few days later, on 17/12, the same orchestra, along with the young musicians of El Sistema Greece, perform music by Mozart, Verdi, Morricone, and a host of other composers. On
18 and 19/12, Greek National Opera’s Stavros Niarchos Hall is hosting a panoramic survey of music from the films of Harry Potter, our favorite sorcerer. Furthermore, cross-cultural children's choir Polyphonica, mixed adult choir Musica, and Camerata Junior string orchestra are giving a concert on 23/12 at the Lighthouse, beaming us to different parts of the world. On 29/12, just before the curtain drops for 2017, the multifarious drummer Sera Bellos and the exuberant British frontman Bradley White Dale perform select songs by great artists. Finally, shortly before the end of the holiday season, Gumbo Ya Ya and Sugahspank! enrapture us all at the Lighthouse!
At the heart of the SNFCC Christmas World, situated on the Canal in front of the Agora, is the SNFCC Ice Rink. Between 1 December 2018 and 27 February 2019, it will be welcoming visitors of all ages to ice-skate.
Christmas in Greece might not be a concept advertised by your go-to travel site, but it’s actually an excellent time to visit. Far fewer tourists crowd the streets than during the summer, yet everywhere you go (stores, restaurants, bars – in the villages and in the cities) people are on top of their game. The cities light up, metaphorically and literally.
You’ll notice ornamental boats decorated with twinkle lights – the modern incarnation of the old national tradition of women and children making small boats at this time of year in honor of St. Nicholas. From the bakeries comes the smell of clove and cinnamon-infused cookies and cakes, and everywhere you go, people greet you with a happy “Chronia Polla” (many years), “Kala Christougenna” (Merry Christmas), or “Kali Chronia” (Happy New Year).
The Greek capital might not have the natural Christmassy vibe of Europe’s many snow-covered medieval cities, but the Athenians do their best to make up for it with decorations and events all around town. So if you’re having a hard time finding the holiday spirit on a sunny December day in Athens, here’s what to do.
DRINK HOT CHOCOLATE AT THE COZY CAFES
Sometimes all you need to set the tone for Christmas is a warm cup in your hands, and a cozy environment.
At Little Tree Books and Coffee which is a combined café and book shop, for example, you feel almost like it’s decorated for Christmas all year round. Have a cocoa or a coffee, paired with a piece of cake or pie, surrounded by cute furniture and rows and rows of books. If you have Greek friends or family to shop for, you might even find some presents on the shelves. At Anafiotika the fireplace keeps you warm and the atmosphere cozy.
If these places don’t manage to put you in the spirit of the holidays, the following two cannot fail. At Fairytale, in Nea Filadelphia, they don’t just make wonderful desserts to satisfy the sugar cravings that famously come with this season, but the whole store becomes eye candy too, as they decorate their hearts out.
Even more extravagant is Little KooK, in Psyrri; the central Athenian masters of decoration. They go all out every holiday (and if it’s not a holiday, they make a theme up!). For Christmas, as you might imagine, entering the café is like stepping into what Christmas morning felt like as a child. To begin with, inside and out, the whole place is covered in lights, fir twigs, ornaments, and “snow”. The front features a huge display featuring carollers, a horse (which may seem random, but we like it), trees and all manner of holiday-themed decorations and characters. The beverages and desserts here are just as on point and aimed to satisfy your yuletide cravings.

GHOST KTR - † Trainée d’Rouge †

Couplet 1 :
J’me rappel de c’mardi onze quand j’ai jailli d’ma tombe.
Larmes aux yeux j’débita l’son. J’étais pris d’palpitations.
J’perçu ma partie sombre dans de tristes partitions,
qui dépassent la fiction. J’ai pas besoin d’affection !
Seize printemps la demie graine est une âme pétrie d’poison,
souffrant de maux de tête qui deviennent des citations.
Non le cul entre deux chaises j’ai pas trouvé d’place assise,
mais un fauteuil roulant quand le doute me paralyse !
Délicat et fragile au gré du vent j’suis versatile.
Une mort cérébrale, J’ai débranché toutes les machines.
Ma rime est sous-marine en cabine j’rappe des lésions.
L’injection est létale t’as beau ligoter tes démons,
Tu les gardes dans la peau comme une seringue dans les veines.
À l’intérieur ça ne bat plus, t’as eu plus de cœur que de cervelle.
Putain la coupe est pleine, chaque soir de la semaine.
J’enfonce le pic à glace dans un cœur de porcelaine !
Refrain :
À deux doigt d’vomir, des mots qui blessent.
Vas-y ravale ta salive, la mort ignore les politesses.
À deux doigt d’jouir quand j’caresse la tristesse.
J’suis un putain d’vampire qui s’manifeste,
dans une trainée d’rouge, c’est comme un festin d’caviar.
Putain j’fais qu’traîner soûl le cœur infesté d’cafards.
Avant qu’j’casse la baraque sert moi une carafe de sang.
Faut qu’je me débarrasse d’ces choses salaces que j’ressens.
Couplet 2 :
Mes yeux se ferment… mais les rideaux s’ouvrent.
Si j’tremble comme une feuille c’est qu’le stylo souffre.
Mes veines sont bleues... j’m’en servirai comme ancre.
Et j’écrirai en boucle Jusqu’à c’que ça recommence.
Donne-moi ton cœur que j’le piétine à pieds joints.
Tu n’es que d’passage dans mon espace aérien.
Et peur d’m’envoler seul si j’monte au ciel demain.
Car vivre sans les autres, bah c’est mourir sans témoin !
J’veux plus partir à la chasse avec mon troupeau d’loup…
J’veux plus m’voiler la face et vendre la peau d’l’ours…
Longue nuit froide et violente, j’reprends du poil de la bête.
Mais sous ma fourrure insolante j’m’isole en tête à tête,
avec un brouillon rempli d’mots et d’lignes horizontales.
L’enfer a régné sur la toîle l’artiste sombre tisse son mal !
Tatoué comme ma peau d’ratures qui n’s’effacent pas.
Un homme qui n’a pas péché, c’est un hameçon sans appât !
Et y’en a pas…
Refrain x2 :
À deux doigt d’vomir, des mots qui blessent.
Vas-y ravale ta salive, la mort ignore les politesses.
À deux doigt d’jouir quand j’caresse la tristesse.
J’suis un putain d’vampire qui s’manifeste,
dans une trainée d’rouge, c’est comme un festin d’caviar.
Putain j’fais qu’traîner soûl le cœur infesté d’cafards.
Avant qu’j’casse la baraque sert moi une carafe de sang.
Faut qu’je me débarrasse d’ces choses salaces que j’ressens.

How philosophy can save your life | Jules Evans | TEDxBreda
When Jules Evans was in his late teens, he started to be plagued by panic attacks, mood swings and other emotional problems. He eventually found help in the form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). He went to interview the inventors of CBT, and discovered they were directly inspired by ancient Greek philosophy. This started him on a five-year journey of discovery, in which he found out how life-transforming the ideas of ancient Greek philosophy can be. He met and interviewed people from many walks of life who claimed to have been greatly helped by ancient philosophy, including gangsters, astronauts, soldiers and politicians. Now, he passionately believes that the therapeutic ideas of ancient philosophy need to be rescued from the dusty museum cabinets of academia, and brought to as many people as possible, to help them improve their lives.
Regarding Jules Evans
Jules Evans is policy director at the Centre for the History of the Emotions at Queen Mary, University of London. He is also a journalist, has appeared on BBC 2′s Culture Show, on Radio 3 and 4, RTE-1, ABC Australia, and has written for The Times, Spectator, Wall Street Journal, Prospect and many other publications. His book, Philosophy for Life and Other Dangerous Situations, is being published in 19 countries, and was described as 'a revelation' by The Observer.
Lemnos island - top beaches and attractions | exotic Greece, complete travel guide
The color of the desert meets the total white of the salt, surrounded by the Greek blue. Traditional castle towns, impressive human creations, stunning virgin nature, endless romantic moments. Lemnos island. Northern Aegean - Greece.
Population: 17 thousand people. Area: 477 km2. capital: Myrina
40' from Athens by plane
9 hours from Lavrio & 3:30 hours from Kavala by ferry
The 8th-largest island of Greece. it is mostly flat, hence its more than 30 sandy beaches. Famous for a variety of high quality hand made products & husbandry tradition. One of the island’s major attractions, is the castle! It was erected by the Byzantine emperor Andronikos I Komninos (1118-1185) on the site of older walls, most probably ancient. In the 1970s, Rhodes donated to Lemnos three deer. Now there are some 50 to 70 deer living freely within the castle walls, adding to the pleasure of your visit. the castle divides Myrina in two seaside neighborhoods – the Romeiko (Greek) and Turkiko (Turkish) Yialo (shore). Enjoy your walks in each of them. Different views, same beauty!
Top beaches:
Number one: Keros beach. 32 km north east of Myrina. Sandy, partly organized, secluded. The strong wind makes this long beach great for windsurfing and other water sports. Behind the cliffs there is the free camping spot. Ideal also for caravans.
Number two: Thanos beach. 4 km south of Myrina. Partly organized, sandy, family friendly. This long beach has soft sand and clean water. The left & right parts of this beach are organized with sun beds and umbrellas at the famous Costa Costa beach bar & Pantelis!
Number three: Havouli beach. 32 km east of Myrina. Fine sand and greek blue crystal waters. A perfect spot for free camping! At Havouli beach bar you may find food, drinks and party music…

century BC. The god Hephaistos was its protector and so was worshipped. Τhe theatre is just stunning!
Number two: Panagia Kakaviotissa chapel. Ιt is located inside a rock cavity at an altitude of 260 m. Ιt was founded in 1416 A.C. & used to be a shelter for monks and hermits. It requires a 20-minute walking through a path. This hidden gem has a striking location with impressive view to the sea and the mountainside of Lemnos. The best time to visit would be in the evening when the chapel is flooded by natural light.
Number three: Golden sand dunes. 20 km north of Myrina. These natural formations are covering an area of 70,000 sq m. an extremely rare phenomenon, in Greece at least, this surreal landscape is attracting more and more visitors by the year.
Number four: Salt lakes. 32 km north east of Myrina. Near Kontopouli are Natura 2000 wetlands consisting of three lakes – Alyki, Hortarolimni & Asprolimni. They produce high-quality salt. Many migratory birds spend time here, as any nature lover will want to.
Number five: Cabeirian sanctuary. 37 km north east of Myrina. The Cabeiroi were the children of Hephaistos & the sanctuary was the scene of the Cabeirian Mysteries which were related to the rebirth of nature and fertility.
Number six: Limnos Wind mills. 10 km east of Myrina. 5 beautiful windmills can be found above the village of Kontias.
Number seven: Thermal spa. 7 km north of Myrina, close to Kornos village. Today the spa is abandoned but you can visit the place, drink the healing hot water for free not to mention filling some bottles and take an outdoors street shower spa!
Lemnos villages
Kontias: 10 km east of Myrina. Kontias is one of the prettiest villages of Lemnos. It has traditional stone houses and the roads are lined with planes and lilac trees.
Thanos: 4 km south of Myrina. This traditional village is located in close distance to Myrina and Plati. It is surrounded by much greenery and has nice view to the sea.
Moudros: 27 km east of Myrina. Moudros is the second biggest town of Lemnos and has a lovely port for fishing boats. It was the base of operation for the Greek fleet in the First World War.
Agios Alexandros: 34 km northeast of Myrina you will find this traditional village that looks almost abandoned…
Lemnos island: an authentic destination.
