Athens: First Impressions


In front of the Parthenon, the famous temple to Athena, after whom Athens is named. Literally breathtaking. The Parthenon is located on top of the Acropolis, the hill which literally means "edge of the city," or the citadel of the city. Is this the wrong country for that pose?!


The Temple of Hephaestus and Athena Ergane through a pomegranate vine. Best preserved temple in Athens!


Changing of the guard in front of the Greek Parliament - playing footsie?


Athens at night from the top of the building where we're staying in the suburbs. Gorgeous!

Off to Corinth tomorrow morning for a one-night, two-day trip! Back to Athens on Thursday night.
