Visit to Acropolis















We started out at Monastiraki Square (North of the Acropolis)




















Entrance to the Roman Agora, Northwest of the Acropolis, guarded by a vicious beast (dogs are everywhere - I love Athens!)
















Temple of Iphestios - god of volcanoes (Northwest of the Acropolis)




















Looking west, through the Propylion (entry gate) of Acropolis
















The Parthenon
















Ancient Theatre on the side of the Acropolis
















Looking South: The new museum of the Acropolis (the large black building)
















Looking North: Lykavitos Hill
















Looking Northwest at the Temple of Iphestios and beyond



















That's me! Standing at the Propolyion (looking west)
















The Erechtheion (a temple), with the porch of the Karyatids




















The old neighborhood of Athens, called Plaka, at the Northeast base of the Acropolis
