 The USS Barry welcomes us to the Port of Piraeus for Athens, Greece |
 First view of Acropolis of Athens |
 Athens from the path to the Acropolis |
 The scary accessible stair lift and "elevator" to the Acropolis |
 The ride up was certainly worth it. |
 Walking tourists come up here |
 The Erechtheion is a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena |
 "Porch of the Maidens" with the guardian Caryatids |
 Athena's olive tree |
 Good views of the Parthenon were blocked with either tourists or construction cranes..... |
 So I settled for these |
 Construction was completed in 438 BC |
 Athens with the The temple of Hephaestus in the foreground |
 A wider view |
 The Acropolis Museum is built over a preserved archaeological site |
 One of the original Caryatids in the museum |
 View through the museum window |
 Very impressive |
 Back to the Royal and the only picture I have of the entire ship |
 So long Athens and Piraeus |
 Here are some views of the atrium on the Royal |
