Taken from the terrace of the hotel. I was lucky enough to have stayed there with a superb view of this magnificent place. There was renovation going on but I took a shot of this superb place nevertheless.
Athens (Greek: Αθήνα/Athina [a'θina], Katharevousa: Αθήναι/Athinai [a'θinɛ]), the capital and largest city in Greece, dominates the Attica periphery: as one of the world's oldest cities, its recorded history spans at least 3,000 years.

The Greek capital has a population of 745,514 (in 2001) within its administrative limits. The urban area of Athens extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of 3.37 million (in 2005). The city proper has a land area of 39 km² (15 sq mi), while the urban area of Athens spans 412 km² (159 sq mi). The Athens Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) is the 8th most populated LUZ in the European Union with an estimated population of 5 million. A bustling and cosmopolitan metropolis, Athens is central to economic, financial, industrial, political and cultural life in Greece. It is rapidly becoming a leading business centre in the European Union.

The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by a number of ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all the Parthenon on the Acropolis, widely considered an important landmark of early Western civilization.

Hi Salvator excellent shot! Too much good reception by beautiful place. The background most excellent and the plan splendid I praise again we say

Kalimera Salvator, I think this is the first time I see a photo from the monument with this perspective and the way you framed - composed it makes it very very interesting to have a big part from the rocks under the Parthenon, it is a great idea to include it, and the sky is an ideal BG.
Have a nice day.

Hello Salvator,
A good night time capture of this world famous landmark. The night helps mask the scaffolding whilst the lights help enhance the golden tones of the old stones. Good point of view.

Merhaba Salvator Bey, Akropolis'i bu açıdan görmeye alışmamıştık. Bu nedenle kendine özgü bir çalışma olmuş. Gökyüzünün henüz mavi olduğu bir saatte çekmeniz de isabetli olmuş bana göre. İyi seneler dileğiyle, Tolga

merhaba salvator bey
ışık ve renklerin mükemmel görünümü içinde nefis bir kare.mavi gökyüzü,sarı ışıklar ve detaylar harika elinize sağlık.
selamlar
Ali

Selam sevgili Salvator,
Acropolis'in herkes'in bakmadığı bir yönünden çekmişsin bu kareyi; onun için farklı olmuş.
Güzel bir gece çalışması. Bir de şu Alman arkeologlar neredeyse yüz yıldır sürdürdkleri çalışmaları bitirip, vinç ve diğer donanımlarını söküp götürseler, görüntü daha da güzelleşecek.
Gözüne sağlık, tebrikler
Selam ve sevgiler
MESUT ILGIM

Hello Salvator,
The Acropolis taken at the best hour from such a vantage point. This is incredible. If there were no scaffolding on the Parthenon it would have been a major picture for a great book on ancient civilizations. Youw ere luck with hotel terrace, but you also managed a perfect picture.
I wish you a great Sunday - Izzet

Merhaba Salvator,
Splendid blue-hour shot, taken just in the precise moment, and the ancient stones glowing in the dark as gold. Brilliant exposure. :)
