Everyone knows that I am a sucker for small-city charm, so I decided to venture about an hour and a half outside of Atlanta to Athens, Georgia, home of rock bands R.E.M., Widespread Panic, and of course, the B-52’s.
As soon as I drove into the college town, I knew I was in for a treat. I love exploring these destinations as they tend to offer tons of local restaurants and boutiques which ooze with character.Athens is a thriving college town located in the northeastern part of Georgia.
It is home to the University of Georgia, which is the state’s flagship university, as well as the Athens Institute of Technology and Piedmont College.
Athens is a vibrant city that offers a unique blend of Southern charm and culture.Athens has a rich history that dates back to the early 1800s when it was founded as the seat of Clarke County.
