Ludwig Ross, the archaeologist who undertook the demolition of post-classical additions from the Acropolis in the Bavarian period, belonged to the group of people who assumed that they imagined themselves as the restoration of the lost greatness of Athens and its centre. Despite the ideal of one of magnificent Athens in the 19th century which was later strengthened first by the reactions to the demolition and secondly from the rapid urbanization of the period 1950-1960, its inhabitants and visitors in the 19th century city were not always satisfied with the Athens that they were bequeathed by the Bavarians. Indeed, the dissemination and diffusion of the official ideals of the classical past, were followed so much by projected dithyrambic descriptions of the city as well as some unrecognized negative experiences of her daily life that argued that Ross and the Bavarians could not do it again.
According to the first English descriptions of the Ottoman Empire Athens, the city consisted of “three or four villages that have squeezed at the foot of the west side of the Acropolis. " The next decade marked its confrontation pre-revolutionary with post-revolutionary Athens. The industrial development of the 1840s marked technical and technological reforms that have facilitated travel and expanded the traveling human geography. In parallel with the commentary of its individual architectural departments, Athens claimed the attention of its visitors with writings that focused (either positively or negatively and rarely neutrally) on everyday life and the social and political life of its inhabitants.5 star hotels in athens
