The city of Athens, ancient and modern, offered many attractions, the most notable of which was the Acropolis with its architectural wonders. Without attempting to describe these many structures, we were all overawed that the ancient Greek, without our modern machinery, was able to construct these build- ings. Most of them were constructed over 1500 years ago, and barring destructive acts of men, would still be intact today. From the Acropolis all of ancient Athens is visible, including Mars Hill from which St. Paul preached to the Athenians. Modern Greece boasts many fine buildings, parks, hotels and restaurants. The beautiful Academy of Science has as its central building a replica of the Parthenon before its partial destruction. The sports-minded took pleasure in seeing the white marble Olympic Stadium restored in recent years. This stadium was the scene of the ancient Olympic Games and of their revival, as we know of them, in 1896. The canteen for servicemen, operated under the auspices of the American Embassy, earned a hearty thank you for entertainment and refreshments dispensed. The Parthenon. .,.., J.. .M ,,
