The Acropolis

No trip to the Greek world would be complete without a visit to the Acropolis and the last time we were here my eldest was a knight in shining armour brandishing a plastic sword on its ramparts. Interestingly he was the most keen to return. If you go, do not miss the new Acropolis Museum which is a simple in its architecture but a wonderful place using natural light to enhance its exhibits. It has incorporated the digs from down under in its construction which means that you could see the archaeological remains through the glass floors. Two floors up I found that a little disconcerting. The Parthenon friezes are just breathtaking and the film is worth watching.

Lovely old tin pots of feta cheese which make plant pots for cacti
