Another Greek City



Ljubljana (pop 290,000) is the capital of Slovenia and it was a surprisingly, green, organised, sophisticated and an all-round pleasant city. What else would you expect for yet another city founded by Greeks - according to the LOCALS, Jason and the Argonauts founded this city!!! Ljubljana was controlled by the Austrian Hapsburgs for many years and it shows - it is laid out and looks like a mini Salzburg. The influences are all there - castle on a hill, 1708 St Nicholas Church, a Paris style canal. The only difference is that it is cheap. Distance travelled so far: 9,492km.
