Presidential Guards In Athens
It must be hot in those cloths, looking at the armpits and the fact that I was hot in just a tank top.

You caught the best moment! I also saw these guards (about 25 years ago) when i was in Athens. And i'm also going to Greece again, on Monday! :)
Thanks! Cool, which part of Greece will you be visiting? The islands are really nice at the moment
Olympic beach :) But i would like to visit Meteora as well!
I lived in Greece in Crete, athens was often on our agenda. Did you see the show by night at the acropolis? It is 30 years ago I saw it for the last time, but it is so impressive. Fantastic picture!
I'm actually looking to visit Crete for a month after the summer season is over and rental prices are returning to normal. I did not! I tend to avoid places with many people, a show sounds like a place where many people would be ;p
yes it was, but because you sit outside in buhnes in the dark it does not notion, it is like a play on stage, people dressed up like gods, and everytime just one person speaking and 1 spotlight on that person. It was really nice. Is it your first time you are going to visit Crete? Avoid Malia and chersonssos! the fish and chips and patatje met are the most sold products! :-) I worked in a place called agia Pelagia, whitch is full of tourists, but the calmer ones no discos but lots of tavernes. I did it to make money, 7 km further on the road there is a place called Fodele, this is very very very nice :-) oke there is a hotel on the beach, but fodele village is further on and you do not notice anyone. Now this village has got tourists because it lives of what the houses have to sell, only one street! The village is known as there where El Greco the famous painter is born, and you can see his house, not that I say it is a must see !!! :-) but the village it self , the people, and the food!! the best paidaikja lambchops you eat at entrance of the village on the left handside side. What kind of accomodation do you search? If I can be of any help? with pleasure ! lol it sound really greek, but I maybe able to fix a cheaper car or room in certain places :-) Have fun anyway!
If I go there ill stay there for 4 weeks, this way the airbnb rates are quite good. I prefer an entire apartment and I do most of the cooking myself, do not go out to eat very often. Do not care to much about the larger cities, I want to be somewhere near the middle so I can drive to both sides of the island. Preferable with a beach that is due west for sunsets ;)
I was in chersonssos when I was 16! I will keep your tips on mind thank you!
Still have to decide if I'm going directly to Asia or go via Crete first. Will check what is cheaper
I am so bad in orientation , but on the side where i just talked about you can see the sun coming up very well, agia pelagia is known for that, but to go under I think you have to be on the other side of Crete, loads of little nice villages for sure! but the road is bad, going from one place to the other is not so evident. When you want cheap flights, the season stops end October and so do cheap flights. When you go over from Athens you have to take the plane or by boat, a night boat! that is a total different experience! :-) Also taverns shut their doors from end of the season, in a place like agia pelagia, that is horrible, because it looks like a ghost town then. If you would like to stay in Fodele, a very back to basis studio, or when lucky apartment you can find at katarina Gnarie, domenico apts. there are more places but more expensive. Realise in the evening, you will only see greeks sitting in front of their house or at the cafenuon where they also serve them lambchops :-) While writing I feel so homesick !! that really is my village. In Agia Pelagia you will find nice apartments at la Scala they also had airbenb possobillitys. Nice apartments close to the beach not all the apts have seaview so if you want that you will have to aquire for that, but you are so close by the sea that it hardly will be a problem, or you stay at sirena, studios as apartments no air b en b. With these last people you have to discus the price! do not agree with first one. Horrible thing to say, but it is like that, even me who they know for 30 years first got a much higher price, when I said sorry that is to much I look else where they came back with a cheaper price, but by that time I allready booked Scala. Whitch had much better beds. 1 month in Crete you lucky lucky man! :-)
Great photo caught at just the right moment..yes, it must be very hot. They look so professional.
I have never been to Greece, one day.......
It is so hot! If you do go to Greece, try to visit the islands as well. So lovely, and a lot more manageable with the heat.
Love that fast shutter speed.
And the pigeons
Bravo !
Great capture.
Thanks, in this particular case the shutter speed was a by product of the wide open aperture and the abundance of light during the day in Greece
were you in the AV or Aperture mode?
or Program Mode?
I mostly shoot in Aperture mode during the day, except for sports/action
Okay
Thank you for the details :)
Good Day
these guys are so hillarious! Great shot!
