TRAVEL THE WORLD - PHAESTOS, CRETE, GREECE

These three 2004 photos were taken at Phaestos, an ancient Minoan site on Crete. Not only were the excavations very interesting and very old, but the site itself was very beautiful with views of mountains and valleys from all sides.

TRAVEL THE WORLD, AKROTIRI, SANTORINI, GREECE

Akrotiri is what remains of a Bronze Age city which was at its prime from 3000 to 2000 BC. As you can see in this 1998 photo, two-storey houses have been excavated. We love to visit ancient ruins, and this was one of the oldest, most interesting we have seen.
