siena liggins :

did y’all expect a city humans have inhabited since 1400 BC to look like palm springs?

Κλειώ :

Pls don’t visit our beautiful capital if u think Athens is just an acropolis with shops and souvlaki thanks

Kats_85 :

It’s a 6,000 year old city, what the hell did you expect?

BeHonest :

We knew Athens was ghetto from the Hercules movie lolz

Vinnucci__ :

That city has been occupied, starved, bombed, bankrupted, rebuilt… and still wears the Parthenon on the hill like a crown. Tourists who expect nothing but pretty views want their history without their humanity. 🙄

Xander kurori :

I thought it was Tijuana Mexico at first

wina . ꕤ ｡° :

‘the ghetto’ but its just residential buildings

X.Hamady.G :

THANK GOD FOR SOCIAL MEDIA!!!

Greece not exactly an economic powerhouse.

Diablo 👹 :

Y’all defending Athens real hard 😂

Jimmmmd :

Looks like a typical high density city

Jeanie Kim :

I don’t get when people say this. Like what do peeps expect… Dubai???

Tahirr and 1419 others :

Real life isn’t all Instagram moment

se.tonight.partyinthehou :

this doesn't look bad. if this was Japan everyone would be saying how practical the buildings are

Nustoo :

I loved it. The food, the people, the history. I went back a second time and would love to return

Simon Foster :

Athens is gorgeous. This approach is so reductive….

ellinika_nisia :

Οι τουρίστες νομίζουν ότι η Αθήνα είναι καταγάλανα νερά, 100.000 άνθρωποι, μόνο μνημεία και άλογα με άμαξες για τις μεταφορές μας 😁🤣

Ty :

Their entire economy collapsed recently. What did you expect?

elena.alid :

Me when I visit an overpopulated capital city in a poor country and it doesn’t look like Palm Springs 😔😔

kayray85 :

Normalize going to other countries to experience the culture instead of complaining about it. of course its going to be modernized and not like they show on TV. Its not a fantasy, people live there.

Sam :

Athens is the worst city I’ve visited so far 😂 the airport is also so bad
