Childhood Greece
As a child I was taken each year to Greece - here you can see some pictures of that country of islands.
|
Acropolis
One of the best known icons of ancient times, the Acropolis is the inevitable place to go for any visitor to Athens. Still under reconstruction, you can spend hours here, marveling at history and views of the city.
|
Athens Monasteries
They are around many corners, sometimes large and proud, sometimes small and hidden: monasteries in Athens.
|
Marathon
Apart from being the word for an endurance performance of any kind, Marathon is also a village close to Athens.
|
Hydra
One of the Greek islands easily reached from Athens, Hydra is touristy at first. With some effort, you can reach quiet spots offering some typical Greek views.
|
Aphaia Temple
Situated on top one of the hills of the island, the temple of Aphaia is not just a well preserved piece of antiquity, but also a great viewpoint over the Saronic Gulf.
|
Poros
Very close to the Peloponnesus, Poros offers beaches, a monastery and the ruins of a classic Poseidon temple, stately houses, the typical, pleasant smell of Greek islands but also an overflow of tourism.
|
Panathinaiko Stadium
Races were held here since some 2400 years; Panathinaiko stadium is unique in the world in that it is entirely made of marble - with a view of the icon of Greece, the Parthenon.
