Under Constrution...
by LolaSanFrancisco
I remember walking miles in the ungodly heat of Athens, up a hill that never stopped, feeling the blisters on my feet. Walking and walking and walking. Only to get into the Acropolis to find that it was under construction! I was devastated. I sulked and squinted my eyes to imagine what it would look like with out scaffolding and mesh everywhere. At the time I couldn’t believe that no one told us, or that it wasn’t somehow on the news: “ATTENTION TRAVELS!”
After logging more travels I realized this is very common and nothing to get bent about. Such is life.

go to Acropolis, Parthenon, Sounio, Kolonaki, Plaka, Vouliagmeni lake, drink frappe in the afternoon next to the see in Voula, visit Village Park, Ermou for shopping, Omonia, Sintagma, Monastiraki to eat souvlaki in Thanassi In the spring or summer, there is nothing better than drinking ouzo with meze in Plaka about 9 to 11 o'clock in the evening (or everywhere in Greece)
Milko

I am a fan of chocolate milk. And here in Greece there is a chocolate milk called "Milko." Now I have tasted a lot of chocolate milk in my life, but Milko is by far the best. Try it! It's at almost every Kiosk or store.

This is not in Athens - sorry to mislead, just did not want to give one photo it's own page! This is the Corinth Canal, we saw it en route to Athens. It joins the Ionian and the Aegean Seas, and is quite impressive to see. I have read that the digging actually began in 67 AD! It was constructed as you see it today, in the very late 1800's.
Socrates

Our best sources of information about Socrates's philoshophical views (he lived between 469-399 BC) are the early dialogues of his student Plato. His statue is in front of the Academy, next to the statue of Plato. They guard the main staircase...
