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

Minoan vases at the palace ruins of Knossos, Crete

Greece part I: Cyclades

Kalimera! Finally back from Greece - it's such a beautiful place we took more than 2000 pictures. Even after a long long time selecting the pics, i still have to do this in segments, so now here's the first part: the Cyclades. Trust me, some of the islands like Santorini and Mykonos are so gorgeous that anyone who even knows how to operate a camera can take picture perfect shots. The architecture of the buildings and the layout of these island villages just have to be seen to be believed. I'm pretty confident about our photography skills, but seriously, check out the pics below, we've got tons more where these came from.
