Hello Greece

Hello Greece :)


We arrived in Greece for my birthday month.  I am pretty excited to be here.  This was one of the countries that I chose to come to. 

Greece is located in southern Europe. The bordering countries are Albania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Republic of Macedonia and it borders the Ionian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The population of Greece is 10.77 million people. The official language is Greek.

When we arrived the sun was setting. It was beautiful. We drove from the airport to where we will be staying for the next month.  Once we got settled in a bit, we decided to wonder around the neighbourhood.  We are in a very touristy area.  We are near the Acropolis ( a bunch of Athena’s temples ), the acropolis museum and the town of Plaka. It is a great place to be.


We went to the Acropolis. The Acropolis, is a bunch of temples that represent Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare. There was also some things for Dionysus, the god of wine. Most of it is on a rocky cliff so we had to climb. It wasn’t a big walk but it was fun. On our way up we saw Dionysus's theater. It was beautiful it had big marble stairs for seats and statues engraved into stone around the theater.

When we got to the top we saw two temples for Athena, the Parthenon and the Erechtheion. The Erechtheion is a temple to Athena and Poseidon. The construction started in 421 BC!! It finished in 406 bc. The Parthenon is another temple to Athena that started to be built in 447bc and was finished in 438bc when Athens was at there highest point.
Then we went back home.
Byeeeeeeee!!
