Three EXCELLENT pictures addressed to me personally from the admin of the Greek forum named http://www.stadia.gr/forum (an EXCELLENT site about ALL the stadia and athletic siites in Greece). I hereby wish to thank him for his presents and inform him that I just avoided a couple of strokes and heart attacks.

Just a few pics of the "alternative" Athens.

1. Municipality of Maroussi, 12 KM from the Acropolis, one km from the Olympic Stadium, picture taken from the top of the Greek Telecom Building (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=148981) looking towards the junction of Kifissias and Attica Road (the Athens Ring Road) junction, also known as "the cake".
