This is my 3rd time to Greece but it's the first time I fall in love with this country. We first stayed in Piraeus, then Cyprus and back to Athens. I used to stay only in Piraeus and ran between Piraeus and Athens but this time I stayed in Athens as well. The best part of this trip is I am staying just beside Acropolis. How near? From hotel, just turn left and walk straight, within 5 minutes (or less) and you are at the entrance. I didn't go in this time, been there twice. I just admire it from a distance. It's nicer view to see it from far actually and you can see the whole architecture. I hope to go to Rome to see the Colosseum if I had saved enough one day.
View from Savoy Hotel in Piraeus.
I walked around my hotel area to take some shots.
Saw a statue in the park. I don't know who he is. Any Greek viewers might like to tell us?
A building in Piraeus near the statue.
I had lots of different food in Greece. Greek Salata, Souvlaki, Kalamari, Lamb chops, Seafood, Gyros, Japanese, Korean, Thai & Chinese. I need to eat some Asian food after having too much Greek food, cravings...
Now we are going to Athens......................... I took some pictures near some historic sites around Arcopolis.
This is one of the nicest site for photo shoot.
All these are built over 2500 years ago.
A theatre in ancient days. I understand that it is built in a way that the voice of the performer can be echoed in the theatre.
