A short time in Athens.

During the National Day holiday, I had a short time to visit Athens after finishing my business in Europe. I had been here several times, so I just went with the flow. After arriving at the hotel in the afternoon, I had some time in the evening. I chatted with local Chinese people and they recommended Flisvos Marina in the south, a yacht marina, where I could take a walk and have dinner. As it was a weekday evening, there were not many people, so it was suitable for a walk. Local people were jogging and walking around the marina, and we just walked around casually. There were many yachts docked at the marina, and there was a row of restaurants and bars. I chose one to sit down, enjoyed the sea breeze, and had dinner. It was quite comfortable. After dinner, I went back to the hotel and went straight to the top floor. I lay down by the infinity pool and enjoyed the bright lights of the Acropolis at night. I got up early the next day to go out and do some business. Things went smoothly, and the time I had planned to do business was freed up for sightseeing. I wanted to see how the temple on the Acropolis was being repaired, so I walked there. When I arrived at the Acropolis, there was basically no big change on the outside. When I entered the Acropolis, the Parthenon was still being repaired. I looked carefully and it seemed that the wall inside was a little higher than I remembered. I didn't see much other change. Europeans seem to work like this, maybe slow work produces fine work. Looking at today's advanced and efficient construction equipment, I can't help but admire the superb technology of the ancient people when I think about how difficult it was for the workers in Athens to build a large-scale Acropolis in the Spring and Autumn Period. When I walked out of the Acropolis, the ancient theater of Atticus was next to it. I saw a modern stage set up inside. There are some performances here every year. The ancient theater is still in use today. When you are in this atmosphere full of historical heaviness, you seem to hear Greek drama, travel back to nearly 2000 years ago, and feel the happiness of the people of the ancient city-state of Athens, experiencing the beauty and romance.
