Athens Greece



OPA!

This is a picture of the Acropolis (sacred rock) from the rooftop pool of my hotel. I spent most of my day at the Plaka area of Athens exploring the ruins.
The Acroplis was built as a temple for worship in 438 BC. It took 15 years to complete. I climbed up the hill to tour the Acropolis up close.
Here is a view looking down from the Acropolis onto the Temple of Athena.
The churches in Greece are tiny. This particular church is built on the original ground the city has been rebuilt up around it on top of ruins after ruins.
More Ruins...
This is where we ate dinner at the very top of these stairs on the roof top of the restaurant. It was a great view!
