[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2755113, member: 80783"]Oh yes, we had the nicest weather for a week and the rain only started on the way back to the airport. There were not THAT many tourists on the Acropolis in the late afternoon. [ATTACH=full]631897[/ATTACH] Here is the Erechtheion featuring the famous Porch of the Caryatids: [ATTACH=full]631898[/ATTACH] We also met a couple of native greek Tortoises (it must be quite a sport for them to climb up there): [ATTACH=full]631892[/ATTACH] I only got to spend 15 minutes in the Numismatic Museum as old coins are not my girl´s cup of tea :-p. To console myself a little I spent 7 Euros on the antique flea market to bring back something remotely coin-related: [ATTACH=full]631893[/ATTACH] Diademed head right of deified Alexander III (the Great) with Horn of Ammon / - Brass Medallion, 20th Century 215 gr / 79mm (obverse inspired by Tetradrachm of Lysimachus of Thrace) [ATTACH=full]631905[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
