Ancient Greece - Our Greek Island Cruise a Reveiw $ Pictures

A collection of pictures of ancient Greece that we took while on our Greek Island cruise ship vacation aboard the cruise ship Crown Odyssey.


A lot of the pictures are not captioned since I don't remember (if I ever knew) what they are. Sorry about that.

I do think that this collection of photographs will give you an idea of what to expect when you visit Greece. 

A visit to Delphi is worth the effort!

If you are as interested in ruins as I am, you will love seeing all the Greek ruins.  The ruins on the island of Delos are very impressive and include the stadium where the original Olympic games began.   The ruins at Ephesus are even more impressive. Ephesus is near Kusadasi.  And a visit to Delphi is worth the effort just for the bus ride. The scenery is magnificent and squeezing the bus through the little towns on the way is an adventure in itself.

And of course, me 
atop the acropolis. 
Just to the right of 
my left shoulder there 
is a little monument 
thing.  That is where 
Socrates took the 
poison that killed him. 
Picture of the Parthenon in Athens Greece
Ah...the Parthenon...
One of the most famous
buildings in the world I
imagine.
Picture of Colum nwith writing Delphi Greece
The next few pictures
 including this one are 
I think from Delphi...
where the Delphi oracle 
was located. I took this 
picture because I was 
impressed by the 
writing carved into it.

originated several 
thousand years ago.

Another photo of 
the stadium at Delphi. 
I wonder what these 
were for? A place 
for the judges to sit? 
High ranking officials?

Picture of narrow street on bus trip in greece
Our bus passed through 
a small town that had 
such narrow streets we 
couldn't imagine the 
bus could get through the 
town.  The corners of 
a lot of the buildings 
were damaged from 
being struck by busses 
and trucks.

 

beautiful view of valley mountains.jpg
This photo gives you 
an idea of the kind 
of terrain we were 
passing through.  
Quite magnificent 
views I must say.
