Greece part II: Ancient Ruins

If there's only one thing that Greece is known for, it's ancient history. No journey to this ancient civilaization can be complete without a visit to the Acropolis or one of the many ancient ruins scattered across the country, and so, here we have it- pictures of rocks, rocks, and more rocks. We spent days after days under the scorching sun exploring many of the 'must-see' archeological sites. There were just too many, so again, i've only selected a few here.

Big daddy of all Ruins - The Parthenon at the Acropolis

The pic does'nt even deliver 1/100 of the awe of seeing the Acropolis under a full moon

Centre of the world - Ancient Delphi

One of the Naxian lions guarding over the sacred island of Delos

Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon, Cape Sounion
