I guess only the locals would be able to negotiate the small streets in Athens and not get lost in the elaborate maze like area. Bill said there are many ways to go up this most popular site in Athens. Tourists by the throngs would take the guided tour routes. He however was going to take us on the off beaten track to the sacred hills. It was a bit exhaustive on the knees the climb was but it was so well worth it.

| White washed & blue houses |

| As we arrived up the hill....and our route down to Plaka |
 |
| Surprisingly there are many cactus plants in Athens |

| A beautiful path through some trees before you begin the ascent to the Acropolis. |
 |
| And finally we were almost at the top |
 |
| A beautiful site...indeed |
 |
| When you are up there you can see the whole of Athens from every direction. |
 |
| It is really like a concrete jungle as far as the eye can see. |
