Athens: AcropOliver

Forced play on words? Doesn't really work? YOU BET.

Anyways, coming up the side of the Acropolis, I stopped (along with about the first fourty Japanese tourists I saw. Some stereotypes are there for a reason, as they say) and snapped a few shots of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus - which was refurbished about fifty-seven years ago so that it could be actually be used. This is unlike the other theatre leading up to the top of the Acropolis, the Theatre of Dionysus, which has been left to ruin.Eventually I reached the gate at the top and saw the what is arguably the centrepiece of the Acropolis...The Parthenon!
