Athens
... it is a suburb of Athens now.
Our guide was full of knowledge and taught us a few Greek words along the way. First stop was the original Olympic Stadium from 1896. This stadium if huge and built totally of marble and from here has good views back up to the Acropolis. You could see the pillars from the Temple of Olympian Zeus as well.
Next as we drove around Athens we passed many other landmarks of Athens from the Statue of Lord Byron to ...

A swing dancing tourist!
... raining so we did not got to the actual acropolis. The artifacts in the museum are really something else. The quality and detail are so impressive.
