This 3 disc live album entitled AliveinAthens was recorded on the nights of the 23rd and 24th of January of 1999, it was recorded in the Rodon Club, Athens, Greece. These two concerts were sell outs, with approximately 2000 people each night. The idea of reproducing a snapshot of most of their career certainly worked as the three discs cover every thing from their older tracks to the, as they were then, newer tracks. Here is the track list for those interested:
Disc 1:
Burning Times
Vengeance Is Mine
Pure Evil
My Own Savior
Melancholy (Holy Martyr)
Dante's Inferno
The Hunter ...
Advantages: Vibrant, cheap excellent public transport. Famous historic sites. Eating out Disadvantages: Not as 'Greek' as it used to be. Poor air quality. The drivers!
I'd been to Athens before, but not since 1973 so I was fully expecting a lot of changes, and to a greater extent I was right.
For example, I was probably amongst the last tourists to be allowed full access to wander all over the famous Parthenon on the Acropolis hill. Since then it has been fenced off and variously concealed behind one piece of scaffolding or another, and is rumoured to stay that way for decades.
I remember that summer of '73 with some trepidation - it was damned hot to be in a city and the traffic was truly awful, with blue fumes from two-stroke 'pop-pops' everywhere.
Since then, cars have got a lot cleaner, but regrettably more numerous. Of course, going there in the October half-term holiday helps with the air-quality too!
WHERE IS IT?
It's the capital of Greece and lies in the province ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Athens in general
Advantages: Fun, fascinating and altogether fabulous Disadvantages: Chaotic and confusing for the first time visitor
The first thing I should say is that I never visited Athens purely as a tourist. I lived in Greece for three years, and spent the first two in Halkida, on an island called Evia, about an hour and a half north of Athens (well worth a day out for seafood lunch, the beach and the bars but that is another review). We didn't go to Athens often, and when we did the first stop was usually Marks and Spencers to stock up our small English community on tights and underwear! After two years I moved to Piraeus and set about discovering the capital in all its glory.
Now I'm not going to spend this review talking about the Acropolis, or Plaka, or taxis, or pollution, or any of the other things that are discussed in many of the other fine reviews on this site. Those places are very interesting to visit - the Acropolis is a must for the first time ...
