Best in Athens

I got this idea from looking at Frommers Guide where they have their own Best of.... Yes I know that my Best of Athens may not be someone elses Best of Athens and that there are probably people whose Bests are Better than mine. (But they don't have websites.) Anyway this is just something fun to look at and something enjoyable for me to put together and think of interesting categories with the zillions of photos I have and can't figure out what else to do with them. I suppose it also helps to have my favorites all on one page rather than scattered all over the website where you may or may not stumble upon them. So here are my favorite things in Athens.......Just click on the photos. 

Note: I made this page in 2006 and probably updated it last around 2015 so don't plan your visit to Athens around it. Much of it is still the same but some isn't and when I get some time I plan to make a new one. But for now this is a nice walk down memory lane.
