The Academy of Athens is said to be the most beautiful neoclassical building in the world. And I have to agree. 😮😍 Wow, just wow.⠀ ⠀ ___⠀ ⠀ We explored the modern architecture of Athens on the "Beautiful Neoclassical" tour with @fantasytravelgr. Our guide Katerina, alongside tour developer Athina, led us past the Greek Parliament building, University of Athens, National Library of Greece, Numismatic Museum and more. The final stop was a guided tour of the National Historical Museum - something every visitor to Athens should see. Exhibits range from the War of Independence, to WWI and WWII.⠀ ___⠀ ⠀ We took another tour with @fantasytravelgr to discover the "Museum of Ancient Greek Technology". I was blown away by how much advanced technology the Greeks had 2000 years ago! We saw automated doorbells, rapid-fire crossbows, wine pouring robots, mini cinemas (with sound effects) and complex mechanical clocks. This museum does not receive the recognition it deserves. A lot of painstaking time has been put into each exhibit by studying ancient manuscripts and designs. You can't miss this place on your next visit to Athens.⠀ ____⠀ ⠀ @thisisathens
