5am and wheelbarrows, arriving in Piraeus, a small town which is the port of Athens. We must go to the center, and the time of landing, to identify, to give a point of meeting our Korean friends, it is more than 6 hours. The air is fresh this morning, we drove as never before, but as my mother said, "The world belongs to him who gets up early", then go! At that time, Athens wakes up and goes to work, and yes! there, too. The sun is just rising, the traffic is difficult on large areas of the city that are dangerous as in many cities. First-pass morning in this mythical city that is unknown to us, only in pictures. We see the first temple of Zeus on the right and on the Acropolis hill, famous monuments that we used to see that on TV or in the history books in school and that we will visit today and see for ourselves. A quick passage in the old district of Plaka with many small alleys where it's good to walk and who already feel good southern France. There are also some hotels, but a little too expensive for us, little travelers. Near Omonia, you can find on the street Victor Hugo a hostel of the same name may be the cheapest in town.
To visit this city, we need to bring a good pair because godasse casually, it is bounds if we want to see everything. Namely, all the museums "important" sites are anthiques gratos Sunday in winter and everything closes at 15h. If so, it was found that the worst officials french!!
If the Greek gods are willing to give you good weather, it is nice to climb various mountains and admire Athens a fresh look every time ...
Olympic Stadium 
The Greek soldier before Parliament, unflappable!
This is what remains of the 104 columns of the temple of Zeus that do now more than 16. What surprises me is that no more than rubble, and that became the 88 columns that are missing and the rest of the building of this enormous temple ???...
Here should be the 3rd of the Seven Wonders of the world, which is the statue of Zeus!
Vive la France!
