Athens Tower

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Standing a modest 338 ft. (103 m) above the streets of Athens, the Athens Tower enjoys the distinction of being the tallest building in Greece.  Seen here in this drone video by a1r_m0ses_b, the 28 story tower was completed in 1972, having been conceived during a relatively short-lived window in which tall buildings were permitted in the Greek capital; since this period (as before it), buildings in excess of about 100 ft. (around 30 m) in height are prohibited in order to preserve the look of one of the world's most historic cities.
