Love:
-the friendly people
-the cafes and restaurants especially the pastry shops
.
-that there is so much history to be found in and out of the museums even in The Metro (which is great too).
-the fact that some people still take siesta (is there a greek word for that?), although it means adjusting to shops closing in the afternoon everytime I visit.
-the occasional whiff of jasmine and the pretty flowers everyone has on their balconies.
-seeing water dishes put out for the stray dogs and cats.
Don't like:
-the amount of pollution, both air and noise, all the honking cars and the vendors driving around with megaphones.
-the number of cars and how everyone parks wherever they can (astounded me on my first visit.)
-the traffic makes it hard to be a pedestrian and the taxis confound me.
-the graffiti makes me sad.
