Athens, Greece

Here are some of our Athens photos from our recent trip. This is the walk up to the Acropolis. It was early in the morning, not so hot and we beat the crowds!


Here is the Parthenon, I was struck by the size of it.


This is the 1896 Olympic site of the first modern olympics

Here is the rooftop pool at the Leder Marriott Athens, with its Acropolis view
