Weekly produce market in an Athenian neighborhood: a narrow street densely packed with hundreds of stalls and lots of people.

A quintessential Athenian experience: the weekly produce market.

My haul today included tomatoes (Crete), potatoes (Peloponnese), mushrooms (Epirus), pears (Central Macedonia) and greens (Attica).

The Dendra Panoply, a fully preserved suit of bronze armour.

The #Dendra Panoply, the only fully preserved suit of #Mycenaean bronze armour. Just one of many amazing things in the Archaeological Museum of Nafplio.

The ruins of the Temple of Zeus at Ancient Olympia

I can't go to ancient #Olympia and not post a picture. This is where the ancient Greeks communicated their very identity. That communication still echoes there!

A view from inside the Ottoman castle of Niokastro at Pylos in the Peloponnese, with the Church of the Transfiguration (a former mosque), and behind it the Bay of Pylos and the Island of Sphakteria.

My first post here. Just a view of #Pylos as a reminder of the beauties of the southwestern #Peloponnese and the region's long history. It may appear remote on a map of mainland Greece - but it was a key transit point in the Mediterranean!
