I really enjoyed the Roman Agora much more - there were no construction works and very few areas were roped off. Of course, I also went there in the morning which meant there were very few people around.Paula Koukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11180368238163991249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135495181356872597.post-76656704391516805412009-04-06T12:25:00.000+03:002009-04-06T12:25:00.000+03:00Very interesting.

I was not expecting to be shocked but when I saw the Partehnon and Erechtheion I was awestruck. The next time I was less so but I think that had to do with a) the heat and b) the approach from the side.<BR/><BR/>I've never been to Stonhenge but will take you to Newgrange when you come and you can see the differenceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598687997620191325noreply@blogger.com
