Oktoberfest

November 16, 2007 Places

Summer colours
Continuing in my (delayed…sorry!) Greece series of recent adventures, I made my way to the port city of Nafplio. What a delightful change from the hustle and bustle of Athens. It was October and the weather was hovering around the mid 20’s mark. It was so “summery” and I could just [...]

The eerie setting of The Acropolis…look at those clouds!
It has been used as a temple, a fortress, a citadel and a place to house virgins. It currently lends itself as one of the new 7 ancient wonders of the world and has thousands of tourists adorning its once sacred grounds. Welcome to The [...]
