Listening to jazz at the Acropolis Museum


 
Stratonos Street was unusually quiet the evening we went to the Acropolis Museum restaurant to listen to some jazz.
 

 

 
The museum was beautifully lit and looked very inviting
 
 

 
We turned left into Dionysiou Aeropagitou
 
 
 


stopped to look at the Acropolis on our right, also beautifully lit up




 
and then we walked down the steps towards the main entrance of the museum.
 

 


The restaurant was relatively empty when we arrived as most people had not arrived yet





The view from our table: the Acropolis and the reflected restaurant lights fusing together

 
 


The food was very good and the music was pleasant





The restaurant looked inviting from the terrace




 
when I went out to have a better look at the Acropolis
 
 
 



the Erechtheion looked at its best





as did the Philoppapou monument on the hill in the distance.




 
As we were leaving we admired the olive branch display in the foyer
 



 
looked at the Archaic gallery from above
 

 

 
and stopped to have a last look at the ongoing excavations at the entrance of the museum before heading for home.
