Athens is indeed a balance of chaos and serenity city in Greece. I mean it us the largest city and a great one where you will see important ruins and temples that have shaped the character and relevance of Athens. The Temple of Poseidon looks majestic and you can really feel the history stored in the walls just by looking at it. Yes you are right, despite its population and popularity, there are some corners prepared for your eyes. Like the temples and churches that bring peace to the visitors. The Orthodox churches looks majestic, perfect, and historical too. The details are overwhelming but you can feel a sense of understanding and belongingness on it. I hope you had a good time on Athens, which for sure you had, especially because you met a good friends of yours. A break is so worthy when spent with a very important friend. Thank you for sharing this @arcange. It is beautifully written.
