Barack Obama at the Acropolis (photos)

US President scheduled to depart for Germany after his speech at the Niarchos Foundation

Newsroom November 16 11:58

US President Barack Obama is visiting the Acropolis in Athens, on his second and final day of his visit to Greece, prior to delivering his scheduled speech on democracy at the Niarchos Foundation later, Wednesday. Obama is currently receiving a tour guide of the antiquities at the Acropolis by the competent curator, and head of the Antiquities department, Eleni Banou, under draconian security measures. The archaeological sites of the acropolis and the surrounding areas have been blocked off to the general public until 2pm. Barack Obama is scheduled to depart for Berlin immediately upon completing his speech on democracy at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. White House correspondent Josh Lederman covered the tour guide and snapped the photos of Barack Obama in the Acropolis Museum and on the ancient site.
