After the Temple of Zeus we headed over to the Plaka to do a little shopping and visit this cute little church.
The church of Agios Eleftherios was originally dedicated to the goddess of childbirth, so naturally I had to stop by. It is just a tiny little church and some say it may be the smallest in the world. Although we were there during opening hours, for some reason it was closed and we couldn't get in.
If you look at this close up photo you can see the friezes that go all around the building
Alex took over the job of photographer while we walked around trying to find an open door
He captured some amazing, meaningful shots
"Are you getting any good pictures, Alex?"
From the Plaka we headed over to see the Tower of the Winds and ended up in Monastiraki Square (photo courtesy of Wikipedia). Pete and I had a nice lunch of kabobs and fries (thanks to a recommendation from the Jarmans) while the kids ate snacks and waited for something more appealing.
We walked through the flea market (photo courtesy of Wikipedia) adjacent to the square, where Ruby found a lovely necklace to add to her collection.
