The Acropolis


There’s more on top of the Acropolis than the Parthenon. A great view of Athens, for one thing, in fact a lot of great views of the city of 3,000,000 souls.







There is a fine museum up here too, and since it is out of the blazing sun and/or wild and wicked wind and/or the blasting rain and /or the piercing cold, it is often a place of refuge for more than just statutes and vases.



You can photograph to your heart’s content, just no flash, and no pictures can be made with your friends standing in front of or beside the artifacts. Apparently there have been too many instances of people acting “inappropriately” in front of the great masterpieces of the ages. Never mind that it is difficult to make any picture of the displays without 10 or more people also involved in the frame!



There are 10 or more other sturctures on top of the Acropolis also. Hard to really count them because so many are in a serious state of reconstruction.
