Photos from Greece, 2024

If there is one thing there is plenty of in Greece, it is archaeological sites, and this might be one of the most famous - the Acropolis of Athens.

I always thought that eventually I’d want to live on the west coast of whatever country I end up in. The reason is so I could watch the sunset over the sea. For some reason the idea of the sea to the south never crossed my mind.

In Lygia I was able to watch the sunrise and set over the sea. Admittedly, I only saw the sunrise a couple of times.

One day, while a friend was visiting, we hired a car and went for a drive in the mountains. On the way we saw a sign for a lake, so we stopped for a swim.

Here is just one of the many breathtaking views from that drive in the mountains.

On the last day that my friend was visiting we took a trip to Athens. One of the things on the map was a turtle pond. It was the highlight of our day - and this was the same day we went to the Acropolis!

I guess we are easily pleased.

While visiting the island of Aegina we rented a scooter and, amongst other things, rode to see an ancient olive grove. Apparently, it’s 2,000 years old.
