Acropolis

Exterior of The Odeon of Herodes Atticus.  Originally built in AD 161 by this wealthy Roman in memory of his wife Regilla..

Following an 11 year restoration it is now only possible to enter the Odeon during the Athens Festival.  From June to September there are performances of music, drama and dance.

On a clear day there is a wonderful panoramic view of the modern city of Athens through the arches.

Entrance to the Propylaia. Directly opposite is the famous Temple of Athena Nike.  Unfortunately at this time, covered with scaffolding and ugly tarpaulins.  I wonder if the Acropolis will be free of scaffolding the Athens Olympics.
