ABSTRACT
The Acropolis with its four temples, combines magnificently with the hills of the distant mountains, Pentelicus & the island of Aegina17 are the finest, except the group at the Isthmus which are glorious. Proceeding north through the mountains in the interior of the island they made their next stop at Achmet Aga. After forty-eight hours spent foodless on his back in his cabin, Mill arrived at Corfu in tolerably good shape on 6 April in 1855 Good Friday, both according to the Western and to the Greek calendar. Leaving Corfu on the morning of 15 April, and after first slowly steaming along the Ionian Islands and up the Gulf of Corinth, and after a carriage drive across the Isthmus, Mill reached Athens on the evening of the 17th. At Athens Mill parted from his companion and on 18 May started alone on his Peloponnesian journey, which on the first two days took him merely to Megara and Corinth respectively.
