How much has ancient Athens changed in the last 35 years, compared to the 2,500 years before that? Dunno. I know some of the statues around the Parthenon have been moved to an indoor museum in Athens to protect them from air pollution (that is, those statues that weren't already carted off to the British Museum in London centuries ago). But beyond that, I'm not sure how the tourist experience is different at these sites. Do these photos look out of date in any way? If anyone who has been there recently has anything to add, let's hear it.
More photos after the jump.
