Piraeus, Athens' port and gateway. The Acropolis, the Aegean air, and the particular quality of Greek light at golden hour.

Highlights

  • ·The Acropolis at golden hour with Athens spread out below in every direction
  • ·The Parthenon up close: two and a half millennia of history in stone, still standing
  • ·Plaka neighborhood threading through the old city at night
  • ·Greek light at dusk, the reason classical painters spent lifetimes trying to recreate it
