The Parthenon

The epitome of ancient Greek Classical Art, the Parthenon is a magnificent "Temple to the Virgin", goddess Athena, who was represented inside by a giant gold and ivory structure.

 

The Parthenon, not really in its best form, was being restored (as we can see from the scaffoldings) at the time of our visit. The sunny Mediterranean weekend, in contrast to the gloomy weather of Frankfurt the day before, saved the day to get some good shots in spite of the restorations.
