I'm going to talk about why this is wrong on so many levels.
One of the things that I can't stand is when something that was enjoyed by all is now enjoyed by a selected few. The acropolis, which has several ruins that made up the most impressive and splendid religious site in the world. To have the view partly obstructed by hotels is beyond disgusting and I can understand the outrage that these people are feeling.
To most these ruins are just that, ruins, but to Greece they mean something. Something that's timeless and important. Buildings that host snooty guests, who can see the full acropolis, is just wrong. Oh how Athena is crying.
