During fall of 2014, Mrs Z and I traveled to Greece. The trip was primarily a return to the isle Folegandros, where our intent was to hand over some enlarged copies of portraits of locals whom I'd once photographed during a particularly magical visit there back in March '92. During this same 2014 trip, we also visited Athens, Patmos, Samos and Santorini. This long photo essay will start with Athens. We'll throw in some Greek music throughout, in order to break things up. Enjoy.

In 2014, Mrs Z and I traveled to Greece. The trip was primarily a return to the isle of Folegandros, to gift some enlarged copies of portraits to the locals whom I'd once photographed there back in March '92. During this same 2014 trip, we also visited Athens, Patmos, Samos and Santorini. This long photo essay will start with a 25 shot overview of Athens. We'll throw in some Greek music throughout here, in order to break things up. Enjoy. *metaxi mas: 'between us'.

One of the best times to visit the Acropolis is right at sunrise opening. Extensive renos have been underway for years. Here we see harnessing at the base of a column.
