Η επιθυμία έγινε ανάγκη και η σκέψη πραγματικότητα. Σαν από μηχανής Θεός που εισβάλλει στις ζωές μας. Δυναμικά και αναπάντεχα. Θυμίζοντας ότι οι "κοσμικές μαριονέττες" μπορούν υπό συνθήκες να αναμετρηθούν με τον Δημιουργό. Κατάματα, ισότιμα, υπερβατικά.

Full moon rise in Athens Riviera, Alimos - Greece | The mysteries of Nature

The full moon is rising behind the mountain Ymittos in Athens South zone. Athens Riviera is the coastal area in the southern suburbs of Athens, Greece from Piraeus to Sounio. It is located about 16 km (9.9 mi) from downtown Athens stretching from the southern suburbs of Athens to the southernmost point of Attica, Cape Sounio. According to the Greek National Tourism Organisation the main areas of the Athens Riviera are: the Floisvos Marina, Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni, Lagonisi, Varkiza, Anavyssos and Sounio. The beautiful beaches of Attica and the Saronic Gulf Just a stone’s throw from the city centre is the cosmopolitan Athens Riviera: The southern coastline from Paleo Faliro to Sounion offers exceptional, fully-organised beaches with all sorts of water sports, lively beach bars and restaurants, open-air clubs right on the water, large luxury resorts, dozens of dining options including seaside tavernas serving fresh seafood and eclectic shops. Life here moves to the rhythms of summer all year long. There are natural mysteries all over the world. In the past, our ancestors attributed them to the workings of gods and goddesses. Today, science has provided an explanation for most of them, yet questions remain about many natural phenomenon that we just don’t know the answers to. The beautiful beaches of Attica and the Saronic Gulf Just a stone’s throw from the city centre is the cosmopolitan Athens Riviera: The southern coastline from Paleo Faliro to Sounion offers exceptional, fully-organised beaches with all sorts of water sports, lively beach bars and restaurants, open-air clubs right on the water, large luxury resorts, dozens of dining options including seaside tavernas serving fresh seafood and eclectic shops. Life here moves to the rhythms of summer all year long. At Sounion, you will stand awe-struck before the imposing Temple of Poseidon and the magnificent sunset. The easy-to-reach island gems of the Saronic Gulf, with their sandy beaches and crystal-clear water, are perfect for a day trip or weekend getaway. From the port of Piraeus, you’ll take a hydrofoil to Aegina, Poros, Hydra with its preserved traditional settlement or visit the stately island of Spetses. Kythira, on the other hand, will claim a few more days of your itinerary, as it requires you to travel towards the south of the Peloponnese. But this unique island is worth discovering. It has castles, sacred caves, picturesque coves, villages and beaches for all. Culture springs from everywhere Athens is an open-air museum. Must-sees are the Acropolis, Parthenon, and the New Acropolis Museum, one of the best archaeological museums in the world. From the neighbourhood of Thiseion to Pnyka, the pedestrian walkway of Dionysiou Areopagitou, Plaka, Anafiotika and Monastiraki, you’ll admire archaeological sites, ancient and Byzantine monuments, churches and neoclassical buildings steeped in history. Museums such as the National Archaeological Museum on Patission Avenue, the Museums of Greek Folk Art and Musical Instruments, the War Museum, the new Benaki Museum on Pireos street and the original Benaki Museum in Kolonaki, the Numismatic Museum and the Museum of Cycladic Art will enrich your knowledge of Athens and its history through their collections and exhibits. As will the National Gallery, the Planetarium, the Foundation of the Hellenic World and the dozens of art galleries in the city centre. Down the coast, you’ll stand in front of the imposing Temple of Poseidon in Sounion, overlooking the archipelago and the island of Aegina, and you’ll succumb to the overwhelming energy that the monument emits. You don't need to get on a ferry to escape the bustle of the Greek capital: take a short bus ride and you'll find superb local beaches along the sheltered Saronic Gulf stretching from the southern suburbs of Athens to the southernmost point of Attica, Cape Sounio. Just 10 miles south of the city –typically a 30-40 minute drive– you will find a place where urban sprawl gives way to an idyllic palm fringed setting. Take the opportunity to swim, relax at a waterfront café, walk along the picture-perfect pedestrian streets and the marinas, exercise your favourite water sport, shop in one of the area’s modern shopping centres, dine by the sea or entertain yourself in one of the coastal avenue’s buzzing clubs –the young people’s favourite choice– that have actually brought a touch of Mykonos in town! Summer in the city doesn’t sound that bad after all, does it?! #exoticgreece #athensriviera #naturesmysteries
