Re: if you want crowds though (none / 0)
Well that was  as we were thinking about leaving. we got there first thing before the majority of tourist coaches arrived. the crowds weren't there till later. Having been there when it's crowded, the tourists really stick to the central third of the site. so there were the four of us crawling round the rest, from where you occasionally saw the human sea behind the  walls and columns at a distance. but it's almost like you're there on your own.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: if you want crowds though (none / 0)
Good approach.
I always try to wander off the main bits when I go to places like that and you find the lesser seen gems that way. Venice was a good example of the key sites and streets being packed but all you had to do was step down a side alley or wander around a little and there was nobody in sight.  I'm glad that most people don't have the imagination to think of that.

Inside the same site but off the beaten track.
