You are welcome!

Well this Sunday we had municipal elections to all the country and the area was open for a few hours only..I really don't know how they took the stupid decision to close the tourist areas...The tourists knew that and probably they came to the area the next day ''Monday''..

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. It's pretty amazing the skills those ancient stonemasons acquired, with the primitive tools they had available.

Thanks for the photos! How long was the ride from Athens - about 4-5 hours?

Your country has so many beautiful treasures, we can't wait to see more next time we're there.

I'll never forget walking through that entrance to the stadium... imagining the thousands of athletes who passed that way for a thousand years.

How small we are, how little we know.

Looking forward to your next ride report!

Great pics Mihalis. Amazing to see how advanced the Greeks were compared to other civilizations at the same time.

Yes,i believe that it was very difficult for them to build all those very heavy stones..
