Athens
Athens instantly captivated me with its mix of history and modern energy. The Acropolis stood majestically above the city, and walking through the Plaka neighborhood felt like a journey through time.
From savoring souvlaki at a local taverna to exploring the National Archaeological Museum, Athens combines culture, food, and vibrant streets. Don’t miss the sunset views from Lycabettus Hill — breathtaking.
