Photo Story: Part 1 - Athens
Click a photo to enlarge.
This is part 1 of 4 of Our Honeymoon In Greece.
Our trip started with about a 9-hour flight to Amsterdam, followed by a 3-hour flight to Athens, where we would spend the next two nights before moving on to Mykonos.
We spent our first day in Athens on a sightseeing tour. First stop, the Acropolis Museum near the base of the Acropolis. The museum contained a wealth of interesting artifacts, especially statues. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed inside the museum.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus.
The Temple of Athena Nike.
The Erechtheion.
The Parthenon, which, during our visit, was undergoing restoration.
Lykavittos Hill, surrounded by the city of Athens. Overall, Athens was a very dense city. We were told by our tour guide that one reason for this is a law that states no building may be taller than twelve stories so as not to block the view of the Acropolis.
The Hellenic Parliament building, where we saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, guarded round-the-clock by the Evzones of the Presidential Guard, was just a short walk from our hotel.
The changing of the guard was a must-see and took several minutes.
We spent the evening taking in the sites around our hotel.
An archway in front of the Temple of Zeus (following photo).
Our last night in Athens before heading to Mykonos, we spent taking in the views from the roof of our hotel.

About
I’m a photographer and designer from Richmond, TX, and I’ve been working in the photography/design field since around the year 2000. I’ve had a love and respect for photography since somewhere around my early teens. Twenty-something years later, that love and respect has grown into a full-blown passion, born into a business several years ago.
What do I love most about photography? I love the ability to freeze time - to capture a fleeting moment forever and share it with the world. I love walking through our home and seeing beautiful photographs of our family, friends, and travels adorning our walls.
I have a passion for travel and love to see the world, camera in hand. In fact, I offer original, exhibition-quality fine art prints made from photos taken on my travels.
I love movies, music, Starbucks, and just about anything made by Apple.
Most of all, I love my family, especially my wife, Aimee - take a look at some photos from our honeymoon in Greece - our son, Kellen, and our other “kids”, Bailey, Buster, and Piglet.
