This is a small Church in the heart of the commercial district of Athens. A byzantine monument of the 11th century, built on the ruins of an ancient Greek temple. It is dedicated to Virgin Mary but is more commonly known as
"kapnikarea".

Would you hire this vintage Mercedes for your wedding...?

I still can't believe the beautiful architecture there! Thanks again for the trip...it looks like a place full of history and beauty.
And yes...would want to rent that there car:)

Thank you.
I love the car! :D
I wouldn't hire that vintage car for my wedding but I would love to walk around this beautiful place you have shared with us.
Κωστή μου, σίγουρα θα νοίκιαζα αυτή τη συγκεκριμένη αντίκα γιά το γάμο μου (αν άντεχα το κόστος) αλλά έχω καλύτερη ιδέα. Ο γάμος μας θα γίνει (το ερχόμενο καλοκαίρι, πρώτα ο Θεός) σ'ενα υπέροχο ξωκλήσι λίγα μέτρα από μιά υπέροχη παραλία στην Νάουσσα της Πάρου. Δεν το αλλάζω αυτό το πλάνο με καμμιά αντίκα ούτε και με καμμιά λιμουζίνα. Πως το βρίσκεις?

Dear Costis, I would definitely hire thıs partıcular antıc for my wedding (if I could afford the cost :-) ) but there is a better idea. Our wedding will take place (hopefully next summer) in a chapel laying next to a wonderful seaside of Naoussa, Paros Isle. I would not exchange this plan to any antic or limo. How do you like that?
Πολύ ωραίες οι φωτογραφίες που έβαλες, αυτήν την όμορφη Αθήνα, πολύ την αγαπώ.
Fantastic place with so much history and culture! I hope to go there one day.
The church small but really beatiful.
Thanks for sharing Costas.
wish you all the best for 2011.
Greetings, Joop
Why don't you drive that car on over for New Year's, Costas! ;)
