Municipalities

Today, Athens is nothing like 18th century Athens, a tormented small town, where today’s center was outside the old city’s boundaries. Through the years, dirt roads evolved into avenues and the capital underwent Ovidian transformations.

As you wander in its alleys, parks, squares, and avenues, observe the totally insane mix of architecture, and if you run your fingers on the nail marks of a city that was crucified too many times but stubbornly resurrected itself again and again, you’ll understand the Athenian miracle.
