to learn to learn every day discover how to play. during the thirty years and only two people on board so i really discover what's happening. to me from the start that the trip could be extremely dangerous sailing into and in a sports customer. but when you all has always loved challenges even if they don't go as planned i either a very bad time or was dying. because my board pushed very fast i mean i was in the water and i started to to have the water inside and it was very dangerous. no news experiences now. feature on the international action film to. our program ends to show the oceans and all that other city i think courage people to take action towards protecting them. it includes six films and all among them

cities. the acropolis is athens is best known landmarks but the greek capital has many other ancient treasures such as this to walk up to los. it's part of the ancient aura the former central public square in the city. tourist guide and historian george congo's knows the best spots in town is tipped for breakfast as the balcony at chocolate royal. if they are. then this view never loses its appeal and it's a pleasure for me to show visitors my favorite places so that i can pass on the thrill i feel when i see the acropolis and i will know it was a good thing the level of another one. is tourist take in both old and new attractions to show visitors how athens is reinventing itself. the plaka is one of athens as oldest neighborhoods with its narrow winding streets it invites visitors to explore and linger.

it's also home to the courageous monument of loose across his interview to a generous patron of the arts. monument we see back there is dedicated to a very rich athenian. two thousand years ago the athenians developed a tax system under which people like him had to pay taxes but the middle and lower classes did not. since the start of the current greek economic crisis the country's street art scene has grown there are examples throughout the capital. stuff in other than of. the fantastic street art movement has developed in athens over the past years it's one of the fastest growing seasons in europe. and it isn't just younger visitors who appreciate. the first time

to grace and i discover. only knows about the real. things but i discover a city changing. in the streets lots of graffiti and i just was surprised i like it so it's a good surprise. the next stop on our tour is the ancient arch of history and it combines greek and roman architecture. was along with the by and then we're here we see the beautiful triumphal arch it's made completely open daily marble the athenians dedicated it to their benefactor the emperor who adored this city but also other people. a little tourist train can take you to most of athens the site for instance to the parliament building on syntagma square. you can watch the

changing of the guard there it takes place every hour on the hour. the central market in the heart of the city is also well worth visiting. what is in that home i go to the market almost every day you can enjoy such a wide variety of sense and colors and you can get products from all over the world but especially things produced here in greece i was being funny was that if you. even top chefs trust the quality of the produce here and come by to pick up in greens for their menus head on theory owner in chef alexandros stardust is puts a modern spin on traditional dishes today he's making a squid with. the restaurant is in the karama coast neighborhood and this one numerous awards. at night the sights of athens are brightly lit her name is still an insider tip unlike the overcrowded bars around honest iraqi square. it's on a side street but offers

a breath taking view of the acropolis. after what is it what i like most of all about the nightlife of athens is this mix of the ancient and the modern it's not just the view that makes this place special it's that feeling of knowing that the ancient fenians also sat here and drank their wine and talked to each other just as we do this in this one about i want to go what are they going to. the greek capital is a vibrant historical city still making history every day. and we stay on the topic of ancient greece as our next report features a trojan horse but this one wasn't built to conquer the city of troy and the ten years siege it's a completely modern construction that serves a very different purpose in fact it's just one of a whole range of wacky rooms on offer at the belgian hotel they know we want to

long to explore what makes it so special. and that's impressive it looks really huge from the outside while. at the hotel. in the belgian town the south of the edge guests can stay in this huge wooden horse . understand it's a business accommodate you into the holes through the area i mean. the idea comes from greek mythology during the trojan war of the greeks mobile's fighters into the city of troy inside a huge wooden horse and the horse in the previous hiding something to. cover the cost doesn't allow look how big it is cool is it ok for you. it is a whirlpool i love. how cool is that.

the hostess also shows are two hotel testers denise and a very small bathroom. that will miss them so they speculate on how to flush the toilet. then they set off to explore the second floor here there's a dining and living area as well that's two more beds and i think. haven't got any steps one out it's long enough but there's not much in the way of head around. me that's off on a bunny it's a challenge and enough it man nothing yeah but it's super for kids it's like a cave. our testers have to make their own breakfast there's fresh fruit and bread for the morning. everything else they need can be found in the small kitchen. there's also

a balcony to step out onto and on the third floor another surprise awaits denise and nineteen. the seven up there you have a great view and as a lever to make the head move up and down denise and the team can't resist going up to have a look at it don't miss it into the mites and go inside the horse's head they can sit look out the pen or on the ground oh and make the animal not its head using a joystick. all i got is the setting up sound you oh my goodness i tell you i'm going to sit up here all night this thing is going up up up and down i can make you do whatever i was controlling that that's clever how cool it's nice to be i'm staying true. to. his trips around the world inspired belgian architect told me he don't have to create this quirky hotel it costs over two hundred euros to spend a night in the trojan horse i think it's one of the first two hundred thirty five

going to turn back the hands of time and travel to ancient rome if you ever want to walk through three errors of the city's history well then the place to go is the german city of dimes stot that's where studio courtyard has created a three d. reconstruction of rome through the ages. rome wasn't built in a day and neither were these cinematic reconstructions that documents the attorney cities development over the millennia. before the steeple i think rome offers us the blueprint for our life our way of life civilisation legislation politics everything that surrounds us architecture our understanding of the art of aesthetics it can all be traced back to this culture. and this is where rome was built at least the digital version that's been developed here at the fabric o.t.l.

studio in darmstadt. for many years it's designers have been recreating a long gone worlds and they take great pride in their meticulous attention to detail. but even for specialists digitally replicating rome was no easy task. a team of ten worked on the job for six months. which is pretty it also fits of it consists of forty thousand residential buildings and two thousand villas and individual buildings countless temples eleven thermal baths it's enormous it's a city that even if you visited today would blow you away quickly and wouldn't go. in the challenge three areas were reconstructed showing ancient late imperial and renaissance around always as true to life as possible and archaeologist is part of the team to help maintain precision but a little artistic freedom is allowed. in clear to you from it's not too difficult

we're creative so of course imagination plays a significant role there's no doubt about that and i think that what we do here can be compared to going on a goal oriented expedition between two different most. has already undertaken numerous such expeditions the goal is always the same the viewer should be able to imagine what it would be like two actually. be in those places. animations like these are usually created for film and television. fictitious snapshots of journeys into the past like stepping into a time machine was this a childhood fantasy. via twitter who didn't grow up with that fantasy of course it was and it hasn't changed my whole life i've wanted that it took my

time machine would be the ultimate trip so. i virtually reality which that trip within reach i hear a visit to the emperor's box in the coliseum is possible i there really brave can even venture into the gladiators arena i i i just. missed and for their own project is simply inexhaustible i guess all my employees could continue working on this model for the rest of their lives in the kindest sleeves and you can always uncover new aspects new insights if you keep digging into the details and will never be reached by. you never think a mother in india gets done otherwise time. so it looks as if room even in the digital world is doing justice to its label as the eternal city.

and from the eternal city of rome we return to greener landscapes for our next report the great german poet johann both unfun good to once eloquently sang the praises of the garden kingdom of death ver that's located in the state of saxony on how it's been a unesco world heritage site since the year two thousand and one side from its historical importance it is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy its lush green landscapes. gliding calmly in a boat across billets lake is surely the most beautiful way to enter the garden kingdom of death of the let's pass the eighteenth century venus temple. and

fillets palace. architectural gems are scattered throughout the gardens which were created by a local prince liverpool the third or prince france as he was known as a young man he travelled to england france and italy to widen his education well it's palace was designed to emulate the country houses of the english nobility it's germany's oldest neoclassical building and was the official residence of the prince and his wife louisa princess of brandon book should read the whole thing is the unusual thing about this house was that it was always open for members of the public to visit it first it was a kind of eighteenth century show how prince france wanted to use it to educate his subjects and guests actually came from all over europe including portugal and russia. and of course girder was also here. from group to.

the park includes a network of canals and bridges since france was a firm believer in religious tolerance and like deals of the enlightenment from certain points you can see both the synagogue and the catholic church of st peter. the prince was also very interested in flowers. although they were not at all typical for the kind of english landscape gardens that inspired the park. your album of yangon ornamental flowers are arranged here in tears like an affair. and of course we've been faithful to the original design of the garden oh well back then mediterranean species of flowers were arranged here in parts. so the visitors can see what the pants are like i'm sure. right next to the flower theatre is the temple of flora which originally served as a music development. do those losses i'm bored of filing symbol made of flowers

that you see here points directly at the gulf accounts which was the former home of the gardeners. prince franz later moved in there himself to live with the daughter of his master gardener this flower bed is a symbol of fertility and i'm directly at the coffee house killing off this quarter horse the house has two facades the front is neo gothic while the rear is built in the gothic style of the english tutors. like many of the buildings here it was designed by the princes architect fleetly they had fun at munster offer. a thirty minute walk through the grounds takes you to a small artificial island. its main feature is a stone building topped by europe's only artificial volcano it can even stage eruptions it was inspired by mount vesuvius which the prince was very fascinated by

when he visited italy france wanted his subjects to know what an erupting volcano was like. back at the village palace the prince would entertain kinescope posers and writers. the banquet hall features original french table where from the eighteenth century. the paintings on the walls depict the prince's travels. every year the state draws around a million visitors. this is and it's such a joy to walk around and just take. it all end of. it all of us and yet natural that's very new but also historical. being here it just makes us so happy to see all less. all the

rides with coffee and cake in the afternoon or a three course meal in the evening are especially popular. the perfect way to savor this historic garden kingdom. and with that it is time to say goodbye don't forget to keep up with the show on social media for me and the rest of the courier max as always thanks for watching and we will see you again tomorrow for our highlights edition still back. to. join us next time for the large show with italia and designer stefano so that homes around to. find out how to make a delicious austrian couple strudel. and discover wine to spaniards enjoy internet success the world over this and more next
