The best gift is companionship, this is the second travel note with parents. This time the scale is larger, not only with my own parents, but also with my girlfriend (nickname Little Aunt, my old travel partner) and her parents. The whole trip cost less than CNY13000 per person, this time I can finally keep accounts myself. Actually, when booking the tickets, I never thought that winter in Greece is a rainy season. I was absent-minded, thinking isn't this the southern part of Europe? After booking, I found out it's a rainy season, but since we're here, we might as well enjoy it. There are ways to enjoy the off-season. In the end, I was under the halo of the little sun, feeling the sunshine of Santorini and Athens. This article recommends excellent shooting points in Santorini and detailed locations, as well as Greek bloody myths and interspersed Athens attractions. I'll write slowly, you read slowly. Thanks to mom and dad, they cooperated all the way, worthy of always following me on free trips. Thanks to Little Aunt, after all, she is an old partner, a super good travel partner. Thanks to Dad Lu, following the old master, I learned a little more about photography. Thanks to Mom Lu, the main chef, the mashed potatoes are top-notch. Santorini's winter also has sunny days Santorini's sunset and sunrise Ia is beautiful no matter how you shoot it National Geographic magazine's shooting location Six people walking Mom and dad watching the sea at Perissa Beach, the same action as last time in Taiwan Wine tasting at the Santorini winery And the real people on the island, the ubiquitous Meow Star people Poseidon's Temple in Sounion, another good sunset Two groups of mom and dad together National Archaeological Museum of Athens, definitely worth a day's visit Recommended photo spots in Santorini (detailed location) The biggest advantage of traveling in winter is that there are fewer people, but the disadvantage is that the weather is cold and rainy, but this time I was lucky. In Santorini, for a total of four whole days, only the afternoon of the arrival day was rainy. The rest of the weather was not bad, one of which was a completely sunny day. Santorini under the blue sky and Santorini on a cloudy day are not the same place at all. As long as there is sun, Santorini is a place where you can take beautiful pictures at will. The good photo spots are basically concentrated in Oia, in addition to the blue dome church in Firostefani that became popular because of National Geographic magazine. In fact, there are many large and small blue dome churches on Santorini. Sunset viewing platform Oia on Santorini is definitely the best place to watch the sunset. Recommend two places for sunrise Byzantine Castle Ruins GPS:36.460110,25.372734 This is the viewing platform very close to our homestay (the accommodation will be talked about later), not only the sunset is beautiful, but the sunrise is also highly recommended. But it is recommended to live next to this, otherwise you have to catch the last bus in winter, and there is no hope for watching the sunrise in the morning The sunrise, sunset and scenery shot from the perspective of the viewing platform The castle seen from the cafe, the location is really good On the castle A photographer who is dressed strangely early in the morning (it's really cold in the morning and evening) Oia’s sunset Oia's sunset (there is no specific building, refer to GPS for specific location) GPS:36.461819,25.375311 The sunset here can be shot with three blue domes as the background. This place is relatively close to the bus station in Oia. This place itself is also a good place for portrait shooting. It's a pity that the weather was not good that day. Peter North broke in behind a few days during the day and went again, a dog with a super sense of lens, the last day to watch the sunrise also came to get close to me

#timetotravel My visit to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, was a captivating journey through ancient history and artistry. Nestled in the heart of Athens, this renowned museum welcomed me with its impressive collection of artifacts and sculptures. As I explored the intricately carved statues, marveled at the intricate pottery, and learned about Greece's rich past, a sense of awe and reverence enveloped me. The museum's well-curated exhibits and insightful explanations provided a deeper understanding of the culture that shaped Western civilization. The National Archaeological Museum's central location in Athens made it a cultural treasure. It wasn't just a museum; it was a time capsule that allowed me to connect with the stories of ancient Greece and appreciate the incredible legacy that continues to influence the world today, leaving me in awe of its historical significance and artistic treasures.

The Athens National Archaeological Museum is a must-see destination for anyone interested in ancient Greek art and history. The museum houses an extensive collection of archaeological finds, including stunning sculptures, pottery, and jewelry, as well as historical artifacts from the Bronze Age to the Ancient Roman period. You can witness some of the most famous Greek treasures such as the Mask of Agamemnon, the Antikythera mechanism, and the statue of Athena. It is an excellent opportunity to learn about the heritage of Greece and walk through thousands of years of history.

The Agamemnon golden mask was discovered in the tomb of Agamemnon, which is an early form of burial in Mycenaean civilization. Mycenaean civilization was a civilization in the late Bronze Age of Greece, named after the city of Mycenae on the Peloponnese peninsula. Around 2000 BC, Greeks began to settle in the southern Balkans. From the first half of the 16th century BC, some slave-owning states gradually formed, and the Mycenaean civilization appeared. The Mycenaeans were the earliest Greeks to arrive, settling on the Peloponnese peninsula around 2000 BC. At this time, the Minoan civilization had already been established on Crete, while the Mycenaeans on the Greek mainland were relatively backward. Although they had entered the Bronze Age, they had not yet established a state. Therefore, they gradually transitioned to civilization under the direct influence of Crete, and only established a kingdom in around 1600 BC. Mask of Agamemnon is a golden burial mask discovered by archaeologists Heinrich Schliemann and his wife in the Mycenaean fortress. The mask covers the face of the deceased, with almond-shaped eyes seemingly closed. Most of the facial details have been abstracted, such as the curved ears and round chin, but some details may belong to individual features. Schliemann believed that the fortress he was excavating was the residence of the legendary Trojan War hero Agamemnon, and the gold mask was named after him. However, this later became a point of controversy, with some claiming that Schliemann had forged the mask and that it was his own creation. At least now scholars no longer believe that the mask necessarily belongs to Agamemnon, but still consider its exquisite craftsmanship and the power it represents to be very impressive.

One of the best archeological museums in the world. Some pieces of the collection are just mind blowing
