Athens: History, Chaos and the football (AEK v PAOK) 🇬🇷

Welcome to Athens! Today we walk on the footsteps of the Ancients, we answer the question of Why was Greece and Athens so important to the European identity and we come face to face to some of the modern day problems of this chaotic metropolis. We touch superficially the world of Greek Football, the Ultras, the problems and especially the universe around my favorite team AEK! A troubled football club founded by refugees from Constantinopole (modern day Istanbul), trying to redefine its identity after almost 20 years playing without a home - ground. All this in preparation of viewing the home game against the rivals from Thessaloniki and also refugee founded football club - PAOK. Enjoy!
