It was just 10 photos, but they were eye-catching enough to stop a passersby in front of the Lotte Department Store. Frames are so gigantic and the colors bright that nobody can possibly miss them, even from a distance.

As part of a tourism promotion effort, the Greek National Tourism Organization, Japan and South Korea Bureau, came up with a idea of photo exhibition in cooperation with Korean agency CJ's World.

Nancy Choi, president of CJ's World, told The Korea Times that the exhibition was in line with Koreans' curiosity of Greece, which is known for its ancient structures.

An average of 70,000 Koreans travel to Greece per year, she said, and the number is expected to grow this year. The exhibition will run until Jan. 14.
