Athens is a unique destination
So far I think a huge emphasis has been in n culture and the city is the world cultural capital
New ways need to be explored
Food: the city can offer plenty of food itinerary for gourmet travelers
Food and culture s the perfect mix

Eco friendly: dreaming of a city that well reflects its glorious past
Close the center to traffic
Turn the heart of town into an archaeological walk path stretching from Stntagma to Monastiraki and to the Acropolis area
Give a better layout of Athens market in Athinas St
Make it visitors friendly
The city is a gem with so many many potentials
