Athens is so ugly that it comes the other way around.
It looks like no other. When I travel around Europe I sometimes feel that all cities look the same. When I go to Athens I feel that I am not in Europe anymore, it's a different planet.
- arethuza 6y ago"all cities look the same" Except, of course, for the one that has as a centrepiece a huge old fortress (still used by the local military) on the plug on an ancient volcano. ;-)
- 0x01DEED 6y agoI need to be more accurate... Most cities look similar (beautiful, neat, European)
- metabagel 6y agoWhich city is that?
- Someone 6y agoEdinburgh? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle#Geology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle#Geology)
- arethuza 6y agoCorrect "But Edinburgh is a mad god’s dream, Fitful and dark, Unseizable in Leith And wildered by the Forth, But irresistibly at last Cleaving to somber heights Of passionate imagining Till stonily, From soaring battlements, Earth eyes eternity."
- GlennS 6y agoI dunno. I always thought that one looked kind of like a scaled-up version of Bath.
