One of the first things we do when we get back to Athens is go to Kolonaki and look at some of the private galleries. Not that much to look at this time, as everything closes down in August, and some of the galleries had already closed in late July.
The bus dropped us off at Syntagma Square, We walked past the Houses of Parliament, in front of which the shrine for the victims of the Tempi rail disaster has been .set up
First stop, the shop of the Gikas-Hatzikyriakos wing of the Benaki Museum
