Athens is a GREEN city. The hills - Acropolis, Pynx, Philoppappos and Aereopagitos offer endless opportunities for walking in green spaces, beautifully landscaped and planted.The panoramic views of the city from the Acropolis, or from Lycabettos, or - most of all - from Philoppapos Hill, are stunning on a bright day, and simply incredible at sunset.

Nairobi, Kenya's capital and largest city, still conjures all the romance and adventure of its colorful colonial days. The city evolved from a humble camp for railway workers in 1899 to the capital of British East Africa by 1907.
