Athens - the ancient city

by Gammy1968 - last update: Jun 5, 2007

History in every step

Parthenon - from the roof terrace of our hotel
Even though the weather was not all that nice, rain off and on every day, when we arrived and in the days to follow that prooved to be good for exploring the cities main attractions... if it would have been hotter we would not have managed to see them all.
Herodes-Atticus-Theater

Herodes-Atticus-Theater

This is a look down into the amphitheater... unfortunately it was closed as they were having rehersals for the opera Carmen there.... it would have been a great experience to see and hear it in such a surrounding!

Agora

Below the Parthenon you can walk through shady areas with trees and find a bench to rest for a while.
This picture was taken by Emily -Princess_Emily- as she was tired of snapping stones all the time.... :-)
