Archeology Museum of Piraeus & the beach

Monuments

















Archeology Museum

 Plaque
















 Flaming Lamb at SMILE Resturant


















As we made our way to the Acropolis to get onto a Hop on Hop off bus we came across a monuments – both in the Plaka area of Athens.  We travelled out to Piraeus to visit the Archeology Museum of Piraeus. Bernie was in his glory – he loves history and there were several plaques, many statues; marble and bronze (especially captivating), items from a Minoan find that dated back to 3000 BC and many graves steles (like a tombstone). It was another cooker in Athens 39C. We made our way to a beach near the museum and stayed for a few hours before heading back to Athens. Had a lovely flaming lamb supper at Smile (met Connie’s daughter Zoe). An easy-paced, relaxing day – other than the heat.
