Athens Is the capital of Greece and is one of the main places people go to see the historical and culture attractions as much as the sport and events that Greece offers its visitors. Greece is known for its god and goddess as well as its Olympic summer games.


 Athens is most know for its Summer Olympic Games and starting the sport that the world is now apart of every five years. Athens was rewarded the first Olympic modern games reward in 1896 by the effort of Frenchmen Pierre De Coubertin the founder of IOC, this event helped boost the cities population and international profile. By the late 1906 Athens Olympic summer games had become more popular around the world and was mostly held in Athens, the event was meant to be organized every four years in Greece but later on the idea has lost interest. Sports as well as the Olympics is well known in Greece, back in 1906 the Olympic games was known as Intercalated Games it was a international multi-sport event which was celebrated in Athens.

IOC which stand for International Olympic Committee scheduled the first Intercalated Games back in 1901 which it would be scheduled every four years. The games happened in Greece, Athens they took place in the Pananthinaiko Stadium which has hosted the games back in 1870 and 1875, but when the Olympic games first started out there wasn’t much sport involved they has a maximum of 12 sports in the 1901 games. The Olympics would also have a large opening ceremony which was watched by millions of people. The opening ceremony would include the athletes with their flags and marching band behind them, during the Olympics games in 1901 only 20 countries took part adding up to 854 athletes in total.

Athens sport would attract those who like the opportunity for indoor and outdoor activities. They have lots of outdoor activities for those who want to take part in sports. I think that this would attract young single independent travellers as well as families with teens its like a adventure for the whole family can take part in. Many people would also be interested in the history of the Olympic games as that’s where it seemed to start in Greece. To how the summer games were done in Athens back in 1901 tourists would find it very interesting learning the history behind it.

Minho wasn’t in any mood to party of course there was the wedding reception, Jonghyun had insisted that Minho go to the party, but why? Taemin wasn’t here there was hardly anyone he knew here, what fun was that? Minho slumped into the soft velvet chair and watched everyone dancing. Jonghyun and Krystal in the middle laughing, smiling or in love more like and here was Minho a loner watching lovers at a wedding reception. Huffing out in complete boredom he slightly heard a cough “May I have this dance?” Minho jolted up turning his head to see Taemin smartly dressed in a half done tux, smiling with a beam brighter then the sun Minho nodded. “Yeah you may” Minho frowned again with a smile “You dyed your hair again” Taemin chuckled with muse “Yes, You don’t like it?” Minho shook his head “No! I love it, I was just pointing it out” Minho dragged Taemin to the dance floor and they started dancing a slow steady dance. “Thank you” Minho said slowly resting his head on Taemin’s shoulder; Taemin smiled softly “For what?”, “For coming to the reception” Taemin licked his lower lip to moist it up smiling “You’re welcome”

“Taemin!” Taemin’s eyes drifted away from he wine glass he held, “Hey, you came” with a simple nod he looked at Jonghyun “No problem, congratulation anyway” Taemin’s reply dull no soul to it. Jonghyun smiled brightly at him “Thanks happiest day of my life so far, can’t wait for the day we have children” Taemin scrunched his nose “Trust me you don’t want them” mumbling, Jonghyun just smiled and walked off to his wife. Taemin sighed softly feeling his soft tux he pulled out a little red velvet box, opening it slowly he smiled at the golden ring that sat comfortably in the soft cushion. Tracing his thumb over the material his mind going beyond he present his thoughts were disturbed with a girly screech “Taemin ah!” Taemin moving with speed of light hid the ring “uh? Oh Yoona hi” skipping over she threw her arms over Taemin “hey cutie what you doing here all~ alone huh?” she giggled, Taemin scrunched his nose once more in disgust unlocking himself from Yoona’s grasp “waiting for Minho” Taemin crossed is arms leaning against the table “Ooh, why does Minho get a sniff of you and I don’t even get a bite” Taemin’s silver eyes raked up and down Yoona’s slim figure “why?” Yoona licked her lips “cause your delicious” she curled her finger into Taemin’s tie pulling him to her, slipping Taemin fell forward holding Yoona “Yah!” she giggled “see you like” grabbing her waist Taemin tried to pull away without using his super strength. Yoona took the opportunity to lean forward their lips almost touching.


There stood Minho, his heart crushing into million pieces, well if he had a living heart. “T-Taemin?” Minho’s softly voice broke into a whisper, the two heads turned looking at Minho but before Taemin could explain Minho was gone. “Well done Yoona” Taemin pushed away in front of Minho within seconds “I can explain” Minho wiped his eyes dry his tears turning into rage “Yeah?! Well EXPLAIN!” Taemin sighed “Yoona s-she came on me” Minho laughed “yeah sure” Minho shook his head turning away “Minho!” Freezing at his name being called “Please let me ask you something first” Minho sighed heavily turning round his eyes locked with Taemin’s “Will you…” Taemin closed his eyes suddenly feeling really sick, grabbing he box out is pocket and while opening it Minho’s face went soft a shocked expression “marry me?” Minho nodded fast “Yes!”
