Greece Photos
Here we are, wireless in my Paris hostel, so let's put up some more pics from the road:

Rhodes fortifications...


...wall facing the harbour


"Pigeon Fountain"


..is explained by...


Another view of the wall around the city...


...and another


Former storehouse, now a museum


Smaller shopping street, vine covered, which was like in places in Damascus (except I didn't get good shots of those)


Late night ferry out of Rhodes...


...Sunrise waiting for my connection to Paros


Sunset in Paros


...another


The island was very windy with lots of waves...


...adjacent islands


...basically, a lot of watching the world go by... for two days only


Stadium in Athens


Stairs leading up to the Acropolis, it was super busy...


...The nearby temple...


...detail of the female figures as columns...


Acropolis! (some restoration in progress)


Theatre of Dionysus, from the Acropolis


Ancient Greek Agora


Mycenean gold funerary masks


Some seemed to have a jade-like stone blade, which I found interesting


Really big vase (again, Mycenean)


...more fine vases (with the red, black, and white work)


Another view of the Temple of Dionysus


Temple of Olympian Zeus (the remaining columns out of 50+ originally)


View near Delphi


More stuff from museums...


Notable as it was a round temple (still near Delphi)


Foundations of the gymnasium (it was big)


Dusk in the streets of Nafplio


Harbour of Nafplio


Lions Gate (entry to Mycenae)


Grave circle A (or is it B??), Mycenae


Evening performance at Epidavros, the ancient theatre


Iraklio, Crete


Venetian built stores in Iraklio


Colourfully imagined palace at Knossos (site of the Minoans)


View from the Venetian fortress in Iraklio harbour


My ferry back to Athens


Newfoundland, WTH!?


I wasn't kidding these ferries can be pretty swanky (this was the reception for those lofty people with cabins, I just walked past...)


So that was a quick summary of my adventures in Greece, for more detail and context, please go back to the posts for another view. After that, I flew through Milan to London, so London and finally European photos will be next (there's lots of those too). Chances are, I *might* get the London photos up before my flight on the 20th, otherwise, I'll be on hiatus online as I rush about running errands and driving across Canada. Later, V.
