NICK PAPADOPOULOS PHOTOGRAPHS

EUROPE: Greece

  • Brightly painted window shutters are not limited to the Greek islands, as evidenced at this home in the small town of Likoporia on the Greek mainland.
  • Traditional, handmade komboloi, or worry beads, are a constant for many Greek males. The komboloi have no religious significance, but are used to reduce tension and stress.
  • A marble statue outside the former Greek parliament building on Stadiou Street. The inscription reads: {quote}Greece wants to live, and will live.{quote}
  • A view of the ancient Peloponnesian city of Epidaurus, best known for its magnificent outdoor, 4th-century BC theatre.
  • The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lies in front of the Greek parliament building in the heart of the capital. The memorial is protected day and night by members of the Presidential Guard.
  • Greece's Presidential Guard, known as evzones, wear a traditional pleated kilt similar to the one worn by the mountain fighters in the 1821 War of Independence.
  • A monastery in modern-day Sparta. Ancient Sparta was once one of the most powerful Greek city-states.
  • The bustling, crowded and congested capital is home to about 4 million residents, more than one-third of Greece's population.
  • The elegant neoclassical facade of the University of Athens features a frieze depicting the resurgence of arts and sciences under the reign of King Otto.
  • The frappe, instant coffee served shaken and cold over ice, is the summer alternative to hot coffee in Greece.
  • The Parthenon, atop the Acropolis, towers over the busy capital and offers stunning views.
