The view of modern Athens, if someone looks at it standing somewhere in one of the mountains that encircled the Athenian basin, is astonishing causing to observer a great amazement and different feelings.
The city fills the whole area of the basin and expands even to the nearest mountains and hills proceeding out of natural borders. The huge semi white mass of box shape buildings is interrupted by disorderly spaces of plants. The curved lines of the vaults of churches are various without though changing the uniformity of the architectural lines. From this mass of buildings emerge the marvellous sacred hill of Acropolis and the group of the neighbouring hills and in dynamic contradiction the Lycabettus hill and the line of Brelessus hills namely Tourkovounia. As a matter of fact, this city that seems suffering from gigantism lay inside the web of the ancient municipals. The urban web of the city is still based on the ancient one. N.
