What special thing does my culture bring to the world? By Chris Paspaliaris

THE PARTHENON ATHENS GREECE

Who does not know the Parthenon in Greece? The Parthenon is an ancient Greek temple built in 438 B.C and was to Athena. It is on Acropolis on a hilltop. The view is beautiful. You can see all over Athens! When I first visited the Parthenon with my family I was astounded. The Parthenon is HUGE and MAGNIFICENT! A true state of art! How did the ancient architects manage to build such an outstanding building without machinery? They were brilliant! The Acropolis is my favorite place in Athens! Come to Athens and I will show you the Parthenon!

What special thing does my family bring to the world? By Petros Ventikos

Hi

Today we will talk about my family's WONDERFUL house.

This house is an old war house made of stone in 1800. This house has witnessed vendettas and the Greek revolution back in 1821. My family built this house for protection in times of war:they fought against pirates,other families and Turks. The house is in a small village named Kotronas Mani. You can get there by car from Sparti. Is 40 kilometers. The house is the tallest building in the village. It has 3 stories. Originally the house in the past was used as a tower for the villagers to protect 

themselves. This tower is the symbol of my family.

I am proud of myself as I am the last male in Ventikos family. I will have the obligation and the honor to live in this house. If you want to visit my family tower write a comment.
