🇬🇷 Athens Plog 🇬🇷 | The Greek National Library That Left Me Speech

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens is a masterpiece by Italian architect Renzo Piano, encompassing the Greek National Library, the National Opera, and a vast 170,000 square meter landscaped park. 🏛️🌳 Design and Architecture: The park's sloping terrain elevates the entire structure, offering panoramic views of Athens, the distant Lycabettus Hill, and the endless horizon of the sea. 🏞️🌅 The library's reading room, located on the top floor and enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, is a square, horizontal box that boasts a 360-degree view of Athens and the ocean. 🏙️🌍 Sustainability: Visually and physically connected to the sea, the site is linked by a canal along the north-south axis. 🌊🌐 The roof provides ample shade and is equipped with 10,000 square meters of photovoltaic panels, generating 1.5 megawatts of power for the library and opera house. 🌤️🔋 Cultural Experience: The dome space is multifunctional, where you can read, enjoy coffee, and participate in various events. During my visit, there was a DJ spinning tunes, adding a modern twist to the traditional space. 🎶📚 Dining: A must-visit is the Michelin-starred Delta restaurant on the 5th floor, offering a gourmet experience. 🍽️🌟 Visiting Tips: Don't miss out on this cultural hub when in Athens. It's a place where history, architecture, and modernity converge to create an unforgettable experience. 📸🏛️ #GreeceTravel #VlogMyDay #DailyFragmentsPLOG #EuropeanLife #Library #EuropeanTravel
