I just spent a few days in Greece, visiting Athens, Sounio and Delphi.
The temple of Hephaistos in the ancient Greek agora in Athens
Here are the pictures :
Statue of (a headless) Hadrian
The agora, which was the center of Ancient Athenian life
The Acropolis, which they were still building
The Parthenon, the temple to Athena, which they were also still building
The Erechteion temple, with the Caryatids and Athens on the background. The only finished building on the whole Acropolis
View of central Athens from the Acropolis. On the right is the temple of Zeus and the Panatinaikos stadium is in the middle. The first modern Olympic Games were held here.
The Poseidon temple in Sounio
The temple in Sounio is in a nice location
The Evrones are the guards of the parliament. Their marching is elaborate and a bit funny as well
Temple of Zeus
This status was found in Delphi, it is of a charioteer
The road leading to the Delphi temple
The theatre at Delphi, with a great view of the valley below
The temple dedicated to Apollo is the reason people came and still come to Delphi
