Athens By Night

 You don't have to drink expensive cocktails at the rooftop bar of a 5 Star Hotel to enjoy the lights and sights of an Athens night

These are photos taken by grandson Jamie from the cafeteria at the Athens Metro Mall and the streets below


City lights


The Parthenon atop the Acropolis


It never fails to take my breath away
You turn a corner, lift your eyes
And there is the Parthenon
Towering above city apartments and the noisy bustle of Athens streets


Another view of the city and there, standing out as it has done for centuries, the Acropolis and Parthenon


Even a busy avenue leading into Athens centre has a certain beauty

  1. There is beauty all around, if we only have eyes to see it, and your grandson's photographs prove it.
