Tradition broken

Since we moved to Crete we used to spent the new year's holidays in Athens and we had even make up our own "tradition" to visit Acropolis on the first Sunday of the year. A lovely way to spend your day, isn't it?

Well this year we didn't visited Acropolis, not even Athens as a matter of fact, so our self made tradition was broken. It's not a big deal, we have so many wonderful things going on right now that we hardly missed it but I just remembered it and took a look at my photographic archives.

If you scroll down my blog you'll probably find posts about all those visits but there are many pictures that I haven't share before. Like the ones I am showing you today, taken exactly 3 years ago on January 6th 2019.

No this is not a casual Greek dressing but it definitely is what some Greeks think that the tourists want to see.

Looking up or looking down the result is the same. Ancient stones!

Do you remember that long gone era that people were close to each other without wearing masks?

Where to look first? At the greatness of Parthenon and ancient Greek architecture or the unobstructed view to the city?

Apart from the first one, the pictures are in chronological order and I think that it is more than obvious that I kept circling back and forth for hours!

Two days later we had a little snow in Athens. I know that if you live in northern Europe or Canada this is ridiculously little snow but for us that we see it roughly once every five years, that was exciting! So a few bonus pictures from Philopappos hill on a rare snowy day :)

All the pictures and the words are mine.
