Γεια σου, Παρθάνον! - Geia sou, Parthénon ! (Hello there, Parthenon!) So grateful to see this iconic piece of history in person.

We learned some really cool things on our visit that we wanted to share with you:

- “Parthenon” comes from the Greek parthenos, meaning “maiden” or “young woman,” a reference to Athena, the goddess to whom the temple was dedicated. 🦉

- The Parthenon was once incredibly colorful. What we see today as elegant white marble was originally painted with vivid reds, blues, and other colors. (Ancient Athens was much more colorful than the all-white world we tend to imagine!)

- The marble came from a mountain roughly 10 miles away. Thousands of tons of Pentelic marble were quarried from Mount Pentelicus and transported to the Acropolis—all without modern machinery.

*Sometimes what time leaves behind is only part of the story.*

All hail the Queen of Gelato… Kaylee! Last year in Italy, she proved her devotion to gelato. This year in Greece, she’s keeping the tradition alive. Different country, same queen. Long may she reign! 🇮🇹🇬🇷 👑

Γεια σας (Yia sas) Hello! Greetings from the Acropolis.

Fun fact from the Acropolis: The Parthenon is designed with almost no truly straight lines. Its architects used subtle curves and slight variations in the columns to create the illusion of perfect balance. ✨

Nearly 2,500 years later, it’s still a beautiful reminder that sometimes perfection is all about perspective!
