At the temple of Delphi the oracle declared Socrates as the wisest person of Greece. In Athens he was executed thru a mockery of justice. Wanted see both the places. Your vdo made it possible. It's a kind of embarking on a virtual pilgrimage. Felt deeply soaked in the bygone tragedy seeing those places of immense historical importance. Nice soul touching vdo. Thanks

but you are forgetting Pella and Vergina, the two most important places of Makedonia. Greece is not only Athens and Peloponnisos. Makedonia became famous because of Alexander the Great and Pella, his birthplace, is an amazing ancient Greek site along with Vergina. The Macedonian civilization is an important part of our Greek heritage.
