Greek pics

The Parthenon on the Acropolis at night (in case you couldn't tell).
This is a view of Athens and a theater on our way up the Acropolis.
This is the southern tip of mainland Greece. On top are the ruins of a temple to Poseidon - God of the Sea.
This is a view from Delphi on the Peloponnese (the large island or peninsula of southern Greece). Most of the green seen below is olive trees.
This is an area called Meteora in central Greece. Back around the 11th century some monks decided these huge rock towers would be good places to build their monasteries. They built more than 20 monasteries like the one you see here but only 6 remain.
