Love the variety of options a large city has to offer.
Love the anonymity in the crowd.
Love the fact that mountain and sea are easily accesible from almost everywhere in Athens
Love the fact that everyone in Greece wants to live in Athens
Hate the long distances and traffic of Athens (major problem in my opinion)
Hate pollution (got to find a solution fast  )
Hate the fact that we gradually lost the feeling of "neighborhoud".
Hate the fast lifestyle we must attend by living in a large city. |

Love:
- The ambiance
- The people running to their daily task
- The cafe (always crowded anytime of the day). Wondering if people work..
- The night scene of Plaka, Thissio, Psiri, Gazi, Kolonaki
- Ermou shopping street
- Lycabettus hill and the amazing views from there.
- The taxi drivers, their music on the radion and their discussions
- The fact that you can go easily to sea areas like Piraeus
Hate
- Not enough green
- Too much cars
- Too much pollution
- No environmental conscience
- Lack of profesionalism (but that is also the charm of it)

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. |

|
|
I love walking the streets and watching the people from Constitution Square...Ermou St..Monastiraki..plaka
I love taking the small lift to Lykabytos and then walking the terrace steps down to Plaka
I love the aroma of the flowers mixed with the Psistaria (grills) and hearing the music coming from the open restaurants.
I love Kifissia to Stamata area where the forest meets the city
I hate the polution and the traffic that goes with a big city |

| I hate it that Athens are losing their ancient charm. I took some pictures there and most of them look like this one here: http://www.odyssei.com/travel-gallery/106605.html so it looks more like a shanty town in Kenya than a centre of old cultures....But I srill love the food and wine. Greek wine is really delicious. |
