Temple of
Poseidon, Tour of the Acropolis and Much More!
Day 4
Today, we planned to catch up on all the things that
tourists normal don't do, but we like to do.
We like to try and see everything, meet the people and
discover those wonderful little local restaurants
that are often overlooked.

 |
Our time in
Athens is quickly running out with only a few days
before we have to say goodbye...
but if you ever get the chance , this is one place not
to miss!

Originally the statues were all painted bright
colors, but little remains to tell the tale!

Do I look happy? |

the 'pass' to visit
the Temple of Poseidon.
Some 'graffitti' from the poet Lord Byron sits on one
of the columns.
|
Fortunately, there are many signs in English! |
| |
|
 |
The Temple of Poseidon is about 42 miles
south of Athens. A Temple to the goddess Athena
sits nearby.
|
After the defeat of the Persian King Xerxes, one
of his ships was dragged up to the Temple in
obvious homage to the god Poseidon.
