Athens City Tour, Visited the Acropolis, Two Museums

Acropolis Museum











Benaki Museum





Today we took a city tour in an air-conditioned coach – thank heavens as it got to 38C. We fortunately got to the Acropolis around 9 a.m. – we only posting a few of the hundreds of pictures we took. We bought a book that gives a glimpse of the former magnificence of the Acropolis – we would be happy to share it with you. Toured the new Acropolis and Benaki Museums – both were fascinating. We truly do not make beautiful structures, clothing, pottery etc like the Greeks of old did. We are planning to visit one more museum tomorrow then to the beach.
More to follow …
