The Town

We saw more "angels" on roofs. These angles looked a little different than the angels in Aegina. Later, when we went to the New Acropolis Museum, we saw ancient "angels" that Greeks used to decorate their houses before Christ. These have been around a long time.



A statue by the harbor that honors sailors. The column has a trident with the fish that represents Poseidon entwined on the handle. Greece has influenced the entire world. This same type of fish is entwined up the light poles on the Victoria Embankment on the river Thames in London.

The clock tower. I used this to orient myself as I hiked all over the island.
