Athens is such a strange beast. On one hand is has absolut stunning and beautiful places, lots of life , hospitality and friendly people but on the other hand such rundown and breathtakingly ugly places that reminded me of a nuclear disaster scenery.
The main problem with Athens is that due to construction laws you can't have tall buildings that exceed the height of the Acropolis. If this wasn't the case there could be skyscrapers which would free a lot of space for parks and public spaces.
@@cbarak72 Thats not a problem lol. The buildings in Athens are taller than they should be. The 7 storey buildings are the ugly ones, while the neoclassical 3-4 storey buildings are the beautiful ones. The beautiful cities of the world are those that dont have skyscrapers and have respected their historical beauty (Paris, Budapest, Florence, etc). I couldnt imagine a skyscraper ina close distance to the Acropolis. This would be an actual crime.

Hello mate! Nice video! Congratulations! I would like to ask you if I could use this video for my channel, obviously I will mention your channel as you recorded it. Let me know what you think. Kind Regards
@@VideoMap sure mate! Just to edit the video, could you tell me some info as the day and approximate time it was recorded and also which model car? Thank you so much ;)

Looks mid af tbh. Also nobody use indicators and bikes dont use helmet, looks like your typical SE asia country mixed with some Eastern Europe distopia with all graffitis around
Well each city and country is different don’t forget that Athens and Greece in general has gone through far more changes than the cities and countries you are comparing. It’s been through ottoman rule for 400 years that destroyed almost anything in sight and has been through two world wars and a civil war. It’s a very old and historic country and you should do some research before criticising. Plus the main tourist income in Greece doesn’t come from the capital like it does in most European countries. Greece has to offer so much more than just a classic European city which you can find anywhere in Europe, Greece is extremely unique and beutiful, with the 2nd best cuisine in the world (rated by google research) and beaches that you won’t find anywhere ales on the planet. So some graffiti is not that big of a problem when you have such a versatile and rich scenery and culture.

You are wrong,...Athens is really beautiful ❤

Fantastic video. So soothing to watch. Thank you.
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Excellent video.
City should paint the lines on the roads it’s pretty faded out!
Enjoyed it - thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
I wish that was the only problem! Take a look at the shitty condition of the road signs!

Hi, thanks. I’m driving in all of my videos
Athena reminds me of Alexandria in the past
I was 4 years in athens.😭😭😢🌹🌹
Where are you now?
@@VideoMap hi.im in Helsinki Finland.i couldn't 3 years agin com to greece.if i can next month will come to greece for one month or som month stay in athens.my english not good 👏😊🌹
Want to study here
super ! thank you !
Wow. I love it ♥️
great video. I can see there’s not much traffic on the road. Is there any fee if we park at the roadside?
To me it is unbelievable like a simulation of what Athens looks like without people. I have never seen anything like this.

Are you still in Athens? Is it safe now amidst protest i saw in the news??😢
Hi, no i'm not in Athens, this video was made in summer. There were also some protests when i was there, but it was safe enough.
❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
When was this? No one on the road. Was this August 15th holiday?

lots of mopeds in Greece
Yes, but i think less than in Barcelona ruclips.net/video/gROEvrBL30c/видео.html
@@VideoMap I see
it doesn't look like Europe
What does it look like to you? Just curious. Someone who travels a lot told me it reminded her of Amman, Jordan.
Doesn’t look like Paris nor London but Athens has more heart and soul than any other city in EU!
Does it. Looks like Istanbul.
@@arthurdaynee it makes sense Istanbul used to be Greek remember Constantinople

Incredibly average capital city. Especially considering that 3 and a half million people live here.
You must be American who cannot appreciate anything non-American!
