Some days are better than others. This day was a special one. We took a private tour of the Acropolis. I will let the pictures do the talking but if you aren’t familiar with this complex, built on a high hill, I can say it is a place not to be missed. This was our second time visiting here. The last time was almost 10 years ago. 
The name is derived from the Greek word akro meaning extreme or high and polis meaning city.
We were the first people to walk onto the Acropolis at 8:00am and we saw the soldiers walking back from putting up the flag. 
When construction began, under the guidance of the general and statesman Pericles, it was the 5th century BC. 
Look closely…I swear these are ancient LEGOS (below).
What was created was a lasting monument which would both honor the goddess Athena and announce the grandeur of the city to the world.
After the tour we also visited the beautiful, new Acropolis Museum. I recommend having a personal guide when you visit here.

The Athena statues put their best foot forward. For a few it’s the right leg and for a couple it’s the left leg. ???
