Amazing Athens Architecture

I loved the Acropolis so much I went two different days.

I was having dinner out side and this was the view. Viva la Acropolis!

The Erechteion in the Acropolis, athens greece

The Erechteion is one of the most elegant buildings of the Acropolis although the ones standing here ar replicas, as the originals are in the Museum on the south side of the acropolis for their protection from the elements of nature.

Getting lost again and excited to see some really old and warn walls and homes. Great textures to take some photos.

This used to be a trading district now it has turned into some really chic bars, resturants and a good place to visit on a weekend night – Old town Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki, Greece Vlatodon Monastery (Vlatades)

I was told that The Vlatadon Monastery may be the only Byzantine monastery still functioning in Thessaloniki. The monastery was founded between 1351-1371 founded by (Vlatades). St Paul visited here during his time in Thessaloniki when he was teaching in the first centuries after Christ. Regardless of religion, its a beautiful little property with hanging grape vines, manicured gardens, peacocks and a well with the most delicious water in all of the city, plus I wanted to see the views, so I enjoyed sitting up here for a bit absorbing all the grandeur of Thessaloniki and life in the present.

For some reason I like drinking from Well water more than anything, However I better get my drink on before I head to India this fall. Can’t drink the well water there.
