Parthenon, Athens, 2024.
The crowds do flock to the stark, exposed site atop the hill at the Parthenon, Athens.
Sunglasses are advised. And sunscreen. And a hat. And a collar that you can turn up. The Parthenon on the acropolis in Athens, Greece, in 2024. It’s one of those places where the brightness of the crowd, and the blueness of the sky, become as much a part of the scene, and the experience, as the dominance of the stone, or the monument.
