<p>Peer into the jaw-dropping depth of Greece's hidden giant. Known by the Guinness World Records as the deepest gorge in the world relative to its width, this natural wonder in the Zagori region is a paradise for hikers and landscape photographers alike.Captured from the Oxya viewpoint, the sheer limestone cliffs drop vertically past the dramatic karst structures of the nearby Stone Forest. The scale here is absolutely humbling.</p>

<p>Zappeion FanZone stage<br />
<br />
Identification: Zappeion Megaron behind EuroLeague Final Four stage<br />
Location: Zappeion Gardens<br />
<br />
This closer image clearly shows the extensive truss structure, lighting rigs, stage roof and temporary barriers erected for the EuroLeague Final Four Athens 2026 FanZone.<br />
<br />
Behind all the modern equipment can still be seen the monumental white Corinthian columns of the Zappeion.<br />
<br />
Designed in its final form by Danish architect Theophil Hansen, the building was inaugurated on 20 October 1888. During the 1896 Olympic Games its circular atrium was used for the fencing competitions, establishing an enduring association between this building and international sport.<br />
<br />
Your photograph therefore captures an interesting repetition of history: a building created for the revival of the Olympic Games in the 19th century again being used as the centrepiece of a major international sporting festival almost 140 years later.</p>

<p>Evzone relief marching through Athens<br />
<br />
Identification: Presidential Guard Evzone relief<br />
Location: Herodou Attikou / Presidential Guard precinct, Athens<br />
Date: 23 May 2026<br />
<br />
This photograph catches three Evzones of the Presidential Guard in one of the most dramatic stages of their ceremonial march. They are wearing the khaki summer doulamas, the uniform commemorating the Greek soldiers of the Balkan Wars, with red pharion caps, long black tassels, white stockings and red leather tsarouchia.<br />
<br />
The central Evzone has his leg raised almost horizontally in the characteristic exaggerated ceremonial step. The slow, highly controlled movement contrasts with the ordinary walking pace of the blue-bereted Presidential Guard soldier accompanying the detail.<br />
<br />
Their rifles are carried high on the right shoulder and the opposite arms are swung rigidly backwards. This is part of the carefully prescribed drill used as guard details move between the Presidential Guard barracks and ceremonial posts.<br />
<br />
The Presidential Guard barracks, named after Greek War of Independence hero Georgios Tzavelas, are at 2 Herodou Attikou Street. The Evzones guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Presidential Mansion and barracks, with the Tomb guard changed every hour.</p>

<p>Omonia Square and Five Circles<br />
<br />
Identification: Omonia Square<br />
Artwork: Five Circles / Pentakiklo<br />
Artist: George Zongolopoulos<br />
Background: Athens Tiare Hotel<br />
<br />
This photograph reaches one of central Athens' most famous traffic and transport nodes, Omonia Square.<br />
<br />
The tall stainless-steel circular framework is Five Circles, or Pentakiklo, by celebrated Greek sculptor George Zongolopoulos. Created in 2001, when the artist was about 100 years old, it was first presented at that year's Venice Biennale before being installed in Omonia. The 15-metre-high sculpture is hydrokinetic: flowing water is intended to set its five circular components in motion.<br />
<br />
After years of incomplete operation, it was fully restored in conjunction with the redevelopment of Omonia Square and returned to working condition in 2020.<br />
<br />
The large fountain on the right is another defining feature of the modernised square. Behind it stands the Athens Tiare Hotel, at 2 Pireos Street, directly overlooking Omonia.<br />
<br />
Omonia itself dates to the 19th-century planning of modern Athens and received its present name—meaning “Concord”—in 1862.</p>

<p>Evzones carrying rifles during guard relief<br />
<br />
Identification: Marching Evzone relief<br />
Location: Central Athens near Presidential Guard barracks<br />
<br />
A closer photograph of the same relief provides an excellent view of the Evzones' marching formation.<br />
<br />
Each carries his rifle upright against the shoulder while maintaining the carefully controlled pace associated with Presidential Guard drill. Their khaki pleated coats move dramatically as they march, contrasting with the rigid posture adopted once they reach their sentry positions.<br />
<br />
The red pharion caps and their long black tassels are especially noticeable. According to the Presidency, the red cap symbolises the blood and sacrifices made during Greece's struggles for independence, while the black silk tassel represents mourning.<br />
<br />
The camouflage-clad Presidential Guard member walking alongside the ceremonial soldiers acts as part of the modern military support and supervision surrounding the relief.<br />
<br />
The flowering hedge provides an unusual soft backdrop to a very formal military scene.</p>

<br />
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. A significant coastal urban area in the Mediterranean, Athens is also the capital of the Attica region and is the southernmost capital on the European mainland. With its urban area's population numbering over 3.6 million, it is the eighth-largest urban area in the European Union (EU). The Municipality of Athens (also City of Athens), which constitutes a small administrative unit of the entire urban area, had a population of 643,452 in 2021, within its official limits, and a land area of 38.96 square kilometres (15.04 square miles).<br />
<br />
Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years, and its earliest human presence beginning somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennia BC. According to Greek mythology, the city was named after Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, but modern scholars generally agree that the goddess took her name after the city. Classical Athens was one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece. It was a centre for Hellenistic democracy, the arts, education and philosophy, and was highly influential throughout the European continent, particularly in Ancient Rome. For this reason it is often regarded as the cradle of Western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy in its own right independently from the rest of Greece.<br />
<br />
In modern times Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. It is a Beta (+) – status global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is one of the biggest economic centres in Southeast Europe. It also has a large financial sector, and its port Piraeus is both the second-busiest passenger port in Europe and the thirteenth-largest container port in the world. The Athens metropolitan area extends beyond its administrative municipal city limits as well as its urban agglomeration, with a population of 3,638,281 in 2021 over an area of 2,928.717 km2 (1,131 sq mi).<br />
<br />
The heritage of the Classical Era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments, and works of art, the most famous of these being the Parthenon, considered a key landmark of early Western culture. Athens retains Roman, Byzantine and a smaller number of Ottoman monuments, while its historical urban core features elements of continuity through its millennia of history. Athens contains two World Heritage Sites recognised by UNESCO: the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Athens is home to several museums and cultural institutions, such as the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, the Acropolis Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the Benaki Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics, making it one of five cities to have hosted the Summer Olympics on more than one occasion.<br />

<p>Hellenic Parliament from the National Garden<br />
<br />
Identification: Hellenic Parliament — former Royal Palace<br />
Location: Syntagma Square / National Garden, Athens<br />
<br />
This photograph shows the Hellenic Parliament rising above the landscaped edge of the National Garden.<br />
<br />
The imposing neoclassical building was originally constructed as the Royal Palace of King Otto, the first king of modern Greece. Its architect was the Bavarian Friedrich von Gärtner, and the foundation stone was laid in February 1836. King Otto and Queen Amalia moved into the completed palace in 1843.<br />
<br />
After the monarchy ceased using it as the principal royal residence, the former palace was extensively altered to accommodate the Greek legislature. The decision to move Parliament and the Senate there was made in 1929, with the conversion undertaken by architect Andreas Kriezis.<br />
<br />
A Hellenic Police van and officer in the foreground are another reminder of the substantial security presence in central Athens during the Final Four weekend.</p>

<p>Police vehicles and public-order officers<br />
<br />
Identification: Hellenic Police security deployment<br />
Location: National Garden / Zappeion perimeter, Athens<br />
<br />
This photograph gives an excellent overview of the scale of the police presence surrounding the Zappeion during the EuroLeague Final Four.<br />
<br />
In the foreground is a marked Peugeot 308 Hellenic Police patrol car, carrying the blue-and-white Greek police livery and roof-mounted red-and-blue emergency lightbar.<br />
<br />
Beyond it is a large dark-blue BMC police personnel carrier/bus, bearing the Hellenic Police crest and POLICE markings. Several public-order officers stand beside the bus carrying white protective helmets, while other officers can be seen farther along the pavement.<br />
<br />
The orange traffic cone and closely parked police vehicles suggest that this section of road had been reserved for operational use.<br />
<br />
Hellenic Police imposed substantial security and traffic measures during the tournament, including controlled movements of supporters and restrictions on gatherings in parts of central Athens.</p>

<p>Panagia Kapnikarea on Ermou Street<br />
<br />
Identification: Church of Panagia Kapnikarea<br />
Location: Ermou Street at Kapnikareas, central Athens<br />
<br />
Looking along crowded Ermou Street, the small Byzantine church positioned almost directly in the middle of the shopping street is Panagia Kapnikarea.<br />
<br />
Thought to date from around 1052, Kapnikarea is one of the oldest surviving Orthodox churches in Athens. Evidence suggests it may have formed part of a monastery and may itself have been erected over an earlier sanctuary.<br />
<br />
Its survival is remarkable. As modern Athens expanded during the 19th century, plans for a straight and spacious Ermou Street placed the old church directly in the path of redevelopment, and it faced several proposals for demolition. Instead the city grew around it.<br />
<br />
The photograph beautifully captures that contrast: an almost thousand-year-old Byzantine church surrounded by modern fashion stores, advertising, traffic and dense pedestrian activity.</p>

<p>Fallen Aviators Memorial, Karaiskaki Square<br />
<br />
Identification: Memorial to the Fallen Aviators – Icarus<br />
Location: Karaiskaki Square, Metaxourgeio, Athens<br />
<br />
Another view of the striking Memorial to the Fallen Aviators, with the dark metal figure of Icarus appearing to plunge into the broad pyramidal base at the centre of Karaiskaki Square.<br />
<br />
The work was created by Greek sculptor Evangelos Moustakas, in collaboration with architect Ioannis Moustakas, following a competition in 2000. The approximately seven-metre-high figure represents the mythological Icarus and serves as an allegory for Greek aviators who died in the line of duty. The memorial combines brass sculpture, granite, landscaping and water features into a single composition.<br />
<br />
The surrounding hotels and apartment blocks make an interesting contrast with the strongly angular modern monument and show its position within one of the busy western gateways to central Athens.</p>

<p>Fallen Aviators Monument and Wyndham Grand Athens<br />
<br />
Location: Karaiskaki Square, Metaxourgeio, Athens.<br />
<br />
A wider view of the Fallen Aviators Monument with the Wyndham Grand Athens hotel providing a prominent urban backdrop.<br />
<br />
The hotel occupies one of the large buildings bordering Karaiskaki Square, making it a useful landmark for identifying this location. The Wyndham Grand describes its property as standing directly on Karaiskaki Square in Athens' historic centre.<br />
<br />
In the foreground, the memorial's low pyramidal base appears almost like an artificial piece of landscape. Emerging from it is the seven-metre-high representation of Icarus, created by Evangelos Moustakas.<br />
<br />
The work is dedicated not to one individual accident or conflict, but collectively to Greek aviators who died while performing their duty. Completed in 2000, it deliberately uses one of ancient Greece's best-known stories of human flight to commemorate modern military aviation.</p>

"This round-bodied oil vessel, produced in Paestum, an ancient Greek city in South Italy, belongs to a small group of black-figure vessels produced in the second half of the fourth century BC, long after the technique had fallen out of fashion. Unlike most such vessels, which are smaller and feature a single figure, this one shows a more complex and colorful scene. The goat-legged god Pan perches on a branched tree trunk, holding his syrinx (panpipe) and a hare. Facing him, her hands on the trunk, is a draped woman, perhaps a nymph or the moon goddess Selene."</p>
