In the hectic pace that we live today, it is often difficult to stop and really observe, soak in and appreciate the sometimes incantational beauty, truth, uniqueness & depth of what lies along our daily paths. This blog is dedicated to the paradoxical and multifaceted beauty of Athens. Whether you are a resident or a visitor, I welcome you to send your photograph & short text (caption, story or poem) of your personal view of the Greek capital.

Lovely walks on Mt Lykkabettus
Mt Lykkabettus is an ideal place to take long, leisurely walks with your friends and pets, or even to sit on a park-bench and read. Thanks to the Friends of Mt Lykkabettus association, it is a location rich with lush vegetation, tall trees and great paths, perfect throughout the year. There are now also set paths for joggers, and good lighting at night.

This morning, at 8am sharp, Angelike was awoken by the sound of jackhammers. She writes: "It looks like this old Barnava Square home is being jackhammered to death. Boo!"

Angelike continues..."The same morning, round 8.30am, while walking the dog, I admired this little home, a few blocks away, which is being lovingly- and probably expensively- preserved the past few months. The lesson, as the Beastie Boys say, "It takes a second to kill. It takes time to build."
Thanks to Angelike Contis
