What color does Greece look like to you?
Have you ever learned about Greece?
If I had to choose one architectural style, I would not choose Greece to live in, but I really like this style, like a castle.
Meet Athens for the first time Hello, Greece! Finally meet you! Greece, this land embraced by the ocean, shines with the halo of ancient civilization.
As the birthplace of Western civilization, those thinkers who have had a profound impact on the world and those simple but brilliant places of enlightenment are all engraved on white marble and forever nailed into the memory of history.
Fascination with Greece originated from the 2004 Athens Olympics - at the opening ceremony, actors dressed in elegant or simple sculptural costumes walked slowly, presenting the past of civilization in a unique way, either real or mythical.
That day also completely broke my aesthetic state of large-scale stages, colorful and crowded.
Thirteen years later, I still clearly remember when I first became aware of the constellations. In front of the TV, I saw the Sagittarius warrior interpreting the story of how he protected Athens alone in the middle of the venue. I felt a sense of pride as a descendant of Sagittarius. I was brave and brave.
Invincible, invincible.
Hahaha.
Well, I must go on a "pilgrimage" to the Acropolis.
In fact, I have always been fond of carvings on Western marble. Simple white can always present a variety of charming figures.
When I was in high school, I really liked taking art classes, which were basically about appreciation.
At that time, the art teacher took us to appreciate Aphrodite of Milos, known to the public as Venus de Milo (it is collected in the Louvre and is the pinnacle of Greek sculpture).
In addition to her golden body proportions and a face so soft that even the Greeks would envy me, what benefited me the most was the essence of her standing posture - the classical standing posture, the most labor-saving standing posture in history.
Since that class, I have adopted this stance in almost any large gathering where I stand for long periods of time.
As the saying goes, knowledge changes destiny, who knows what you will look like under the wide school uniform? Can these sculptures also be understood as using the most effortless standing posture to be immortal like this? Hahaha.
Acropolis Hotel: Wyndham Grand Athens review: Excellent location, rich breakfast, and excellent accommodation experience.
When we landed in Athens, it actually happened to be the hottest day in 2017. Although I was exhausted, the attractions were closed at 2pm due to the high temperature, so I had to get up early to go to the Acropolis.
You must have a local tour guide to enter the Acropolis, which is said to protect traditional culture.
Although it is said that you can see Chinese people everywhere, this does not seem to be the case in Athens.
Most of them are Europeans and they are full of admiration. Like us, they all take photos with their cameras and also take selfie sticks.
ps: They seem to be uncomfortable with us Chinese taking selfies. Every time Mr. L and I decide to take selfies, we are asked: Do you need help? I will take the photo for you! When the sun is too bright, they will also help us as a "photographer"
Hold an umbrella behind to block the sun.
The service is five-star, but the technology needs to be improved.
Acropolis Athens heading to Zakythos Hotel on Zakynthos Island in Greece: The Lesante Luxury Hotel&Spa review: A five-star hotel, from meals to stay experience, it is also recommended as a five-star hotel.
Greece is surrounded by sea on three sides, but each side has its own unique face.
When choosing the specific island to visit, we chose islands located in two different sea areas.
One of them is Zakynthos in Ionian Sea.
Although there will be some detours in the itinerary, now that I’m here, I’m not afraid of the hassle.
From Athens to Zakythos, you first need to take a car for about 3 hours to the pier, and then take a boat for one hour.
There is no other choice for transportation on the island except renting a car, and most of them are mountain roads, so we chose to contact the travel agency in advance to cover transportation from Athens to Zakythos.
I'm glad I didn't rent a car here! Because Mr. L is not accustomed to the climate in Athens. He has a cold, stomachache and diarrhea. If he is asked to drive, he will probably go crazy! At the same time, Zakythos was once colonized by the British, so there are many British people on the island, so driving
Often I can't tell the difference between the left and the right.
At first glance, the person driving randomly must be British.
Hahaha.
IonianSea belongs to the open sea and has strong winds. Currently, it has reached the top of the sea in my world.
Here God overturned the palette, poured milk into the boat bay, and mixed a color called grape seeds. Grape seeds seem to be incompatible with the color of sea water, but there is no word for blue in ancient Greek.
, this is a foreign word, because the ancient Greeks had long been accustomed to the beautiful blue, so they used grape seeds to replace blue, but now the color of grape seeds makes people intoxicated and even unable to extricate themselves.
There are also large areas of very old olive trees on Zakynthos Island, but they give the Greeks infinite vitality, just as it can still grow without receiving rain for four months.
