what is the different between athens and sparta?
Q: what is the good things that was in athens that sparta do not had? at least three thing.
A: Well, for one thing Athens was an intellectual, civilized hub. In myths, Theseus brought Athens to be this center for learning and philosophical thought in Ancient Greece. Sparta, however, was warlike and brutal, ripping children away from their parents at very young ages to train for the army. If you've ever seen the movie "300" this is pretty evident. Athens was the origin of democracy, and was had a limited democratic government. Sparta, however, was an oligarchy, with a few rulers.

Civil war in Greece ! Dangerous !
Official US Embassy report :
The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries” have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time” in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade. N17 terrorists murdered 23 people, including five U.S. Government employees. Strikes and demonstrations are a regular occurrence. Greece is a stable democracy and these activities for the most part are orderly and lawful. However, a wave of incidents started when a teenager was shot and killed in an encounter with the police in December 2008, 2009, summer 2010. Incidents occurred throughout Greece, but the primary sources of violence were in Athens and Thessaloniki, Protestors there engaged in violent confrontations with the police and carried out destructive vandalism and rioting in localized areas, some of which are areas frequented by tourists, injuring numerous police officers. Riot control procedures often include the use of tear gas. Visitors should keep abreast of news about demonstrations from local news sources and hotel security. When there are demonstrations, visitors should be aware of and avoid places where demonstrators frequently congregate, such as the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki. The Omonia and Exharchia areas of Athens are at particular risk for crime and politically-motivated violence; U.S. Embassy personnel and their families have been urged strongly to avoid these areas between 9 pm and dawn. -
Most of embassies advise people not to travel to destinations like Greece, Somalia or Kyrgyzstan in such times, and is the possibility the situation might escalate and occupy the airport in order to make their voices heard. I would suspect the islands might not be affected as in Athens for example, however it always takes a small group people with 'problems' to affect the tourists' life. Keep an eye on the news and Home office web site.

Is Athens, GA worth going to in late May when school is out?
Q: I am a younger person going to various vacation spots in the south next summer looking to party a bit and meet people. Im just wondering if Athens will be dead because all the college kids will be out.
A: There are still college kids in Athens taking summer classes or interning. Late June is when Athens has Athfest - music, people, outdoors - it's pretty fun. In mid-August (when school starts back up), there's Athens Popfest at local bars, restaurants, clubs. If you can get into the bars and clubs then you'll have a great time.
