Athens, the most famous Greek city as well as the capital. Known for its amazing art and architecture, specifically the Parthenon. The Parthenon was more than just a structure built for the Gods, but given the size of it, I almost want to say it was it was a whole new city. I love how it is just separated from the rest of Athens. I feel that the Greeks created it that way because they wanted to isolate themselves when they wanted to worship the Gods versus being in the rest of Athens where wars were fought and brothels were visited. Complimenting the Parthenon, we also visited the Acropolis Museum. The Acropolis Museum is where most of the rooftop friezes and statues lay. All over you can see how the Greeks worshiped their Gods just by creating art. Once again, I was proven why art can be so powerful and knowing that this will be one of the last days I will see Greek art, I can leave fully appreciating it.
