My photos (of which I'll show ~70 of the 357 I took), like my trip, are divided into three posts: 1. Athens, 2. Naxos Island, and 3. Santorini Island.
Here is Part 1: Athens -
The Parthenon at the Acropolis, perched high above Athens.
Arguably one of the most famous and important ancient monument in the World.

After 3 days of Athens (and that's more than enough time in the big city), it was time to explore the islands. I headed to Athens' port Piraeus and bought my ticket on the fast ferry.
Next stop: the Cyclades, specifically Naxos!
