Trip to Greece

[Janni]

Hi,

here are the pictures of the second half of my greece trip in 2007. we stayed for a few days in athens and visited the typical tourist sights: athens plaka, acropolis, ancient agora and the botanical garden. the last time i was in athens was summer 2001. the city developed very much from that time on and especially the old town district of plaka has been refurbished very beautiful.

at first some pictures of the acropolis from beneath and the surrounding area...
