Sully's European Journeys


Greece

Greetings. These are pictures from my trip to Greece, including Athens, Poros, Hydra, and Epidaurus. While in Athens I went to the Panathenaic Stadium, the Acropolis, the Archeological Museum of the Acropolis, and wandered around the Plaka, also known as the old historical neighborhood of Athens. The view from the Acropolis was amazing, as you could see all of Athens. Then I went to the island of Poros and spent time in the Peloponnese region. While there, I was able to tour a Greek vineyard and participate in a wine tasting. I took a water taxi to the island of Hydra, where they have donkeys, mules, and horses on the island to move people and cargo since cars and motorcycles are not allowed. There was wonderful shopping on Hydra. I then went to Epidaurus, which has a theater that has fabulous acoustics. I returned to Athens for a final day, and visited the Old Royal Palace and Syntagma Square. What a wonderful country!
