Athens, Greece

Our arrival in Athens with the Acropolis in the background. The domed churches are are now mostly christian (Greek Orthodox) although they were originally built as mosques during the 400 years of Turkish rule.

The Temple of Hephaistos which is one of the lesser known but best preserved Greek temples.

At 2 euros the Gyros have gotten the thumbs up from Audry. Although I think in one of these countries, we have to watch our use of the "thumbs up" as it has a completely different meaning.

We watched the changing of the guards with their tassels, pompoms and their pleated kilts. They have 400 pleats, one for every year of Turkish rule.
