Argo Suggests – The Athenian Riviera

2011-06-05 by Aleksandr Shatskih

The magificent Margi

But, like the part of the proverbial iceberg visible above the water, this marvelous pinnacle is but a fraction of the glory of Greece, even touristic glory. Another more practical wonder awaits Athens visitors, what is known as the Athenian Riviera.
