City and sky


The Acropolis also offers great views over the city. In the distance you can see another, smaller Acropolis - it just means "high city". But of course the hill with the Parthenon was the most important one and remains the most visited one too! Photo taken in May 2011.

  5. This is funny, but I can see the hotel that my sister and I stayed in while in Athens... we were looking "up" and it was an exquisite view at night.

  6. That's a lot of city! I actually didn't know that Acropolis means "high city", makes sense. Great pic!
