Whirlwind Athens

by soccergrrl - last update: Oct 17, 2003

The Erechtheion
OK, "whirlwind" isn't really fair -- it was shorter than that. My time in Athens was severely limited, by design and by hurricane-induced fate. It's definitely a city I'd like to revisit and explore. For now, what you'll find here are just a couple of tips and some pictures from the Acropolis -- the only site I saw. Here is a picture of me, holding up one of the caryatids.
Ancient Theater
When I put that back down (*whew!*), I rested at the Herodes Atticus Odeon.
The view from down below. Did I mention we had really great weather?

Pros:"History, architecture, culture . . ."
Cons:"Too little time to judge . . ."
In A Nutshell:"Worth more than an afternoon tour!"
