the parthenon, acropolis

not surprisingly acropolis was brimming with tourist hoards - as this was low season due to greek easter i can only imagine how many visitors there are during hign season... - still i can't help but feeling quite disappointed about the loads of visitor factor. that always put quite a damp on my expectations and the ambiance. what should have been an amazing experience in theory was sadly so very less than interesting and satisfactory.
