Travels With Jim Explores Athens - Part Two

Our first stop was the Panathinaiko Stadium (Παναθηναϊκό στάδιο). At first sight it didn’t appear to be an ancient architectural treasure per se. But this stadium that was most recently renovated in 2004 in order to host the Summer Olympics is built from the remnants of the original stadium dating back to 566BC. The stadium received its first face-lift in 329 BC when the structure was re-built to include marble seats and steps. In Greek culture it is also proudly known as Kallimarmaro (Καλλιμάρμαρο) which translates to “marbled beautifully.”
Back in its heyday this stadium could hold 80,000 excited spectators. This more modern version holds a mere 45,000. Just imagine this is the only major stadium in the world that is created entirely of white marble that comes from Mount Penteli. As I traveled around Athens and other parts of Greece I did observe that marble has survived in many unexpected areas. In the next few days you will come with me as I walk to Philopappos. The path to that monument is replete with all sorts of marble laid out in varying patterns on the path itself.

Panathinaiko Stadium

Some 2,577 years ago the ancient Greeks were able to establish what is now considered the ideal specifications for the design of the track which curves in the traditional hairpin pattern. It has remained unchanged since that time. It appears that the Ancient Greeks set the standards way back then.
The Panathinaiko Stadium is located in downtown Athens in close proximity to other Ancient Greek attractions. Amazingly many of these areas are within walking distance of one another.
Our tour guide allowed us to explore the area on our own but did ask that we be back on the bus within a fairly short period of time as this particular tour was only scheduled for a half day. My Greek friends suggested the half day tour for two reasons. First off, the mid-day heat can be exhausting. And then more of a cultural consideration is the “necessary siesta period.” I have siesta in quotes because that’s exactly how it was presented to me. If you look closely at some of my pictures you will see many animals that just plop down anywhere for a siesta.

As you might imagine our departure from this venue was delayed as one of our group became lost. And our poor guide had to go search for her. Quite frankly I was impressed that the tour guide could keep track of all of us. Later, after leaving Greece and arriving in Edinburgh, Scotland I have a funny story to tell.

Archeological Museum, Athens, Greece

Tomorrow, once we find and rescue the lost woman we will take a first visit over to the amazing  Archeological Museum.

Travels With Jim Explores Athens - Part One

I prepared for my first Athens tour. I put everything together the night before so I was sure not to forget anything. The Greek continental includes far more than the plethora of bread and pastries that seem to be an American staple. While breakfast was a hurried event this morning it was quite pleasant. I have found myself somewhat annoying the wait staff when I make it clear that I am wanting more than just two or three drops of coffee.

Exploring Athens, Greece

The first bus was a wee blue thing that whisked me off to Syntagma Square where we were transferred to the mother ship, a much larger air-conditioned coach. I realize it’s somewhat odd, but I turned the air conditioning off. We essentially went nowhere for about thirty minutes while waiting for the smaller shuttles to bring yet other mesmerized tourists to the mother ship.

Athens in the Morning

This is Athens

In retrospect I think the bus was the safest place to be. Athenian drivers have only one objective, and that is to get where they are going. As a pedestrian it is not a good idea to challenge a Greek driver. When I was in Italy I was amazed, even frightened at how they drive. In the film Under The Tuscan Sun there is a line that the yellow light which means slow down because red is next and that means stop, is merely a vague suggestion in Italy. If you happen to travel in places like Italy, Greece, France and the UK it’s important to note that pedestrians don’t have the right of way and you may be taking your life in your own hands if you forget this. Even I have nearly been creamed a couple of times primarily because I was looking the wrong way.
Syntagma( Πλατεία Συντάγματος) Square is a central location in Athens. One of the most interesting places is the Greek Parliament. If you happen to be walking through the square on the hour you can see the changing of the guard. I did not see it on this day but on another when Yioryis and I were doing a marathon walk through a myriad of neighborhoods in Athens. The changing of the guard takes place just in front the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Μνημείο του Αγνώστου Στρατιώτη).

Greek Parliament

The changing of the guards is quite intersting to see. It’s unlike any other guard changing ceremony I had ever seen before. In order to become one of these guards (a great honor in itself) you must be 100% Greek and you must be at least 6’2″ tall. My friend Alexander (Αλέξανδρος) never qualified for such a position partly because he is only 6 feet tall but more because there’s just no way he could stand at attention in the blazing hot Athenian sun for hours at a time and not move at all. I’m quite certain I couldn’t do that either.

Changing of the Guard

I was impressed that in Greece you can see the guards, and you can have your picture taken with them in a respectful manner. But there is a third guard there who makes sure that these men are safe. Quite frankly I would find it impossible to stand there for any length of time under those conditions. Oh and did I forget to mention the traditional uniform. I was wearing shorts and a thin tee-shirt. To be dressed to the hilt in what appears to be heavy wool in the sweltering Athenian Sun would be a challenge in itself.

Jim- Guarding the Guard

Also within just a short walk are some of the oldest and most interesting neighborhoods in Athens. I know I was in Plaka (Πλάκα) and Monastiraki (Μοναστηράκι). I’m not so sure I was in either Psiri (Ψυρρή) or Kolonaki (Κολωνάκι). I was really only in Greece for a rather short eighteen days and while I did see and experience many wonderful things I know I will have to return many times in order to see and experience so much more.

Athenian Neighborhoods

Streets of Marble

Some of the more famous sites are all within a very short distance of Syntagma Square. In future blog posts we will be traveling to places like The Acropolis(Ακρόπολις) , The Theater of Dionysus which I was able to see from a distance, The ancient Agora of Athens (Αρχαία Αγορά των Αθηνών) where Yioryis heard and translated for me some much younger Athenian men note that when they are as “OLD,” as these two guys (Yioryis and me) they hope to be in as good physical condition. I will also take you to Philopappos Monument (Μνημείο του Φιλοπάππου) at the top of the hill of the nymphs and finally to Lycabettus Hill where I was essentially and almost overwhelmingly struck with the sheer enormity of the city of Athens Greece.

An Early Morning Jaunt to Philopappos

I have a surprise for my loyal readers. But of course you’ll have to check in to see what it could possibly be.
And this is merely The Athens Experience. Just wait until we set sail for the Islands of Greece.
