Athens is one of the most fun cities in the state of Georgia. The city started its life in the late 18th century as a trading post, and after the civil war, it was rebuilt in the modern image of the south. Athens is also known as a college town, which keeps the fun and excitement going. Live music is big in Athens with a rich indie scene, so be sure to catch a show if you can. A stroll around downtown Athens is a must. It is dotted with shops, boutiques, restaurants, and bars. Nature lovers must visit the State Botanical Garden of Georgia.
