DiakoptoSounion 001 * Pictures from a daytrip to the town of Diakopto. It all started off with a bang because we had to get up at 5:30 for a 6:30 train. Well we did and then the metro gate was closed (it opens at 5:30). I guess they were on strike. The Greeks outside were upset too and made sure everyone else knew too. We were able to get a cab so it worked ok. At Diakopto you can ride a small rack-rail train to a monastery built into the back of a cave. This is the street to the beach. * 1600 x 1200 * (847KB)
