Connecting Venice and Athens

<p>Six months ago I moved to the beautiful city of Venice as an exchange student with the Erasmus program. At first everything seemed to me like a whole different world and very different from what I had been used to. The city&rsquo;s built and special characteristics make it quite a unique case. As time went by though, I started looking for connections between Venice and Athens, the city I come from. I discovered how common experiences take place in a different cultural environment and things that one city could &ldquo;learn&rdquo; from the other. I also developed a new perspective about the way a saw my own city.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*TmQrW5VR3leA7oRYw-XS5w.jpeg" style="height:467px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Athenian Views</p> <h2>It&rsquo;s in the Roots</h2> <p>Venice and Athens are two cities with long and interesting histories which are actually very similar at some points.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/connecting-cities/connecting-venice-and-athens-8ff3eb22cb14"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
