Athens and the Acropolis

June 24, 2009. We visited the new Acropolis Museum (it had just opened that week!) It was pretty impressive, a beautiful open space. Nothing like the old stuffy artifacts behind glass sort of set up. Here we are with the caryatids.Later, really cheap yummy gyros on Souvlaki Row
Then the hike up to the Acropolis! It was amazing, you could see all of Athens sprawling out...

For dinner, a great place Rick Steves recommended, 12 shared dishes, ouzo and dessert.
