The Parthenon was absolutely georgous! It is definitely a must see how they built these huge buildings a long time ago. The detail of the pillars and the roof of these buildings were amazing. If you ever get a chance to go there, you must see these places.

This site was closed for many years (beginning in 1999) but has opened again. The Museum was completely renovated and reinstalled, and the lighting and information is excellent. The Museum in particular makes a good introduction to Greek pottery, including pieces from a wide range in time peri...

Every restaurant owner wa...
