Athens June 2004

Here are photos taken around the ancient monuments of Athens. Every time you turn a corner in central Athens, you see a stunning view of the Acropolis and if you're a tourist you get your camera out. So I've got loads of photos of the Acropolis, and I couldn't tell you where the few that I've included here were taken from.
