Stinking souvlaki hell
Hello Athens, the eternal city, home of the Olympic Games, birthplace of democracy. Some call it the cradle of our civilization, others think it just a stinking souvlaki hell. In reality, it is a flirty, sexy place with a social life that destroys productivity and is perhaps the cause of an economic crisis that even the famed oracle of Delphi did not see coming.
