Description

I have been sharing my trip to Athens, the highlight being its history. We stayed in a hotel/apartment type accommodations called "The Artist's Loft," and shared the view we had of the Acropolis.

The architecture of the homes is quite interesting as well, and would be quite beautiful if not for all the "Prolific Athens Graffiti," that abounds. We were totally shocked that every building, whether it was homes or businesses, in the city of Athens, was autographed in this way. I wondered if it is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records for the most graffiti in one city?!

Graffiti being described as writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place. So I am not quite sure of the seemingly lack of pride of one's home, this city of such history, Athens, Greece.

When visiting the Acropolis, it is quite guarded and protected, so I said at least it is not at this place of history. After going through some of my images, I was surprised that somehow these illicit scribblers managed to spray paint a wall.
