The ancient ruins did not leave me cold - pagan origins not withstanding. I found them awe inspiring.
I dunno. Are you ethnic Greek. Could that be the reason? Or maybe the reason is that that month -- June, I was jaunting across Europe every weekend -- 4th in Dublin, 11th in Brussels-Brugges, 18th in Rome (wow!) and 25th in Athens. As I said, it was my perception -- it could have been that I overdosed on history after Rome!
BTW, what's the name of that little Church, ah yes, Panayia Gorgoepikoos!!! BEautiful. Very friendly folks. The fiancee and I were trooping around Plateia heading up to the Acropolis when an old Greek gent stopped us and asked us if we were English. He then proceeded to tell us about the best spots to eat in and to have tea in! Oh and eating, mmmm.. souvlaki! Gyros! Didn't like the wines&spirits though -- Retsina and ouzo was ugggh, but then it would be an acquired taste.
