Today we did the main sights in Athens (Akropolis, Agora, Roman Agora). I was rather disappointed. Not just be the crowds which I felt where heavier then 20 years ago when I came the first time, but the renovation work on the Parthenon is massive and they are doing the whole thing at once. Bottom line: there is no angle from which you can view this main temple and main symbol of Greece with our scaffolding or cranes.
We also did some planning for our upcoming trip to the islands. That will start tomorrow morning if all goes well. I said that since the public transport I praised in previous post will be on strike tomorrow! So no bus or metro to the port. I hope we won’t have to fight to hard with everyone for a taxi.
Dinner was right next to the fence at the Agora ruins with a great view of the Akropolis above us. Priceless!
