Athens is 90% modern concrete ugliness, but it's worth diving deeper and discovering the other 10% - and it's not just the acropolis and other famous treasures, it's the street life in districts like psirri and thissio, it's the warmth of the greek people and it's the surprising byzantine church or roman ruin you discover turning a corner that makes the city a place worth spending some time in.
