....On
Saturday afternoon on the 2nd of June 2001, in spite of being
tired and neglecting the unbearable heat in the city, we made
our way to the Acropolis. It is out of the question to be in Athens
and not visit this monument of worldwide culture!
|
 |
 |
....The
guide was punctual at our appointment and she told us everything
about the monuments around us. We learned a lot of things about
the Parthenon and other monuments such as Propylaea, Erechtheum,
Herodion etc. |
| ....Inside
the Museum of Acropolis we viewed and admired all the exhibits being
given all the necessary clarifications by the guide. We had all
our questions answered and for one more time we felt proud of our
History and Culture. |

....On
Sunday morning before setting out for Thessaloniki, we visited Goulandrie's
Museum of National History. We were impressed by the collections
of insects, mammals, birds, reptiles, shells, minerals, rocks and
fossils that constitute the natural affluence in Greece. |
| ....The
botanic collections of this museum contain more than 200,000 kinds
of plants among which 145 new kinds have been recently found. Some
of the most important exhibits are displayed in the department of
Zoology, the Palaeondological department and the Worldwide Malakia
Dithira. |
