Photographer's Note
The Acropolis of Athens is the best known acropolis (high city) in Greece.
The Acropolis hill (acro - edge, polis - city), so called the "Sacred Rock" of Athens, is the most important site of the city. During Perikles' Golden Age, ancient Greek civilization was represented in an ideal way on the hill and some of the architectural masterpieces of the period were erected on its ground. The first habitation remains on the Acropolis date from the Neolithic period. Over the centuries, the rocky hill was continuously used either as a cult place or as a residential area or both. The inscriptions on the numerous and precious offerings to the sanctuary of Athena (marble korai, bronze and clay statuettes and vases) indicate that the cult of the city's patron goddess was established as early as the Archaic period (650-480 B.C.).

Hi Ioannis.
Very pretty note and also your photo.
Thw two times that I have been in the Acropolis I couldn't see the sea since that "sacred rock" (Athens has got so polution).
And here we can see until the sea.
Wonderful. I like very much.
Thanks for share.
