Athens is a city full of ruins of ancient buildings and the relics of ancient gods yet, every visit to that city is always memorable. My last visit was particularly dramatic because I almost fainted while climbing the Acropolis, an ancient citadel perched atop the city of Athens.
My travel companions started pouring water on me as I laid on the floor . Home to the iconic Parthenon, dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, Erechtheion, and Propylaea, this archaeological site is the cornerstone of the ancient Greek civilization. The elevated site offers breathtaking views of the city.
Pulling them down for skyscrapers will destroy the heritage. People will one day pay to come and see those red roofs. When you become a seasoned traveller, you suddenly realise no one wants to visit a place to see other skyscrapers like New York. People want to visit historical centres, preserved ancient cultures, as well as religious centres. We abandoned our culture and our religion for foreign cultures and allowed them to destroy our heritage.
