Greece - Athens (1/2)

View from our hostel in Athens Hadrian's Arch, older than you. 'An inscription above the arch is found on either side of the gate. On the side facing the new city, the inscription states, "This is the city of Hadrian and not of Theseus", and on the side facing the old city, the inscription states, "This is Athens, the ancient city of Theseus".' Acropolis through the archway Marble pillars. The fallen-over one fell over in an 1800s windstorm. (Remnants of) The Temple of Olympian Zeus Acropolis on a hill Pillar base Pillar tops Fancy! I don't think this was original, but it was sitting in the remains of some roman baths. Baths and ruins Amphitheatre People sitting in ancient amphitheatre Random bits of ancient things Fancy carving under the stage Restored amphitheatre ...nice venue. Out over Athens Part of the Acropolis, but restored and nice and low to see. Restored bit of pillar Acropolis + tourists Acropolis Acropolis Hadrian's Library, I believe Wow. Greek Flag. Original bits of statue from Hadrian's library. Greek Graffiti Can't remember what that is, we didn't go there. Clare + Acropolis There were lots of stray dogs and cats all over Acropolis from the side, near the Agora. Clare looking a bit phased. :-) Rebuilt Agora ("marketplace", essentially) Tiled floor. v. old, poor condition, $100. Not sure. Mediteranean-looking hillside with olive trees. And the Acropolis. Simon's house.
