Αθήνα … The eye of the Ελλάδα, mother of arts and eloquence, native to famous wits.’ 💙
Athens is a city where history and the present blend in the most fascinating way. As you wander through its streets, it’s like stepping into a living story, with ancient ruins casually appearing around modern cafes. The Acropolis isn’t just a relic; it’s a place where you can almost feel the ancient world still buzzing, even in the middle of a lively city.
The food here is like a conversation with the past. A simple souvlaki from a street vendor feels like a bite of something timeless, and those cozy little tavernas? They’re where you really feel the heart of Athens—warm, welcoming, and full of life.
But it’s the people who truly make Athens special. There’s a genuine warmth that makes you feel instantly at home, as if the city itself is inviting you to be part of its story. Athens isn’t just a place you visit; it’s an experience that stays with you, lingering in your thoughts long after you’ve gone.

I lived there for almost two years. I moved without knowing anything about their culture. For me, Asia was very far from my reach. I didn't even take it into account then.
The most complicated thing was joining a group of people there. They were very respectful to the point that not even a couple showed love for each other in the streets. On the other hand, everything was new to me, so I took advantage of every second to explore and learn more about Japan and my favorite city there: TOKYO.
CURIOSITIES:
If you don't have Japanese blood, you can't apply for Japanese citizenship.
Did you know that Japan has the highest life expectancy rate in the world?
86 years for women and 79 for men. The longest life expectancy highest within Japan is located on the island of Okinawa.
In addition, Shinjuku station in Tokyo is the busiest in the world. According to Wikipedia, 3.64 million people pass through this station daily. The station has 200 exits.
The most important thing: It's not very expensive.
You can eat for €7-8 and water always is free.
You can find accommodation for €25-30 per person.
Tokyo Metro costs €1.70 per person per journey.
High-speed Shinkansen train lines are expensive (but it is the easiest way to travel around Japan).
