Day 2 — Athens: Bike, Beach & Acropolis

Day With the Acropolis

A great day in Athens. I navigated the Koga through the middle of this big city and made my way out to the coast. Spent a little time at the beach, had a swim in the Aegean, and then rode back through Athens. Tested out the bike , few tweaks, ready to go 😄

This afternoon I took a guided tour of the Acropolis. My guide was Greek, enthusiastic, and clearly loved sharing the history of her country. Standing among ruins that have been here for more than 2,000 years is hard to put into words.

Finished the day with dinner with a great view of the Acropolis. There was a weeding at tbe fancy restaurant, would have crashed it except I was underdressed. 😄

Safe and sound back at the hotel and calling it an early night. Greek Mass in the morning, one more easy day in Athens, and then Sunday the real bicycle journey north begins.Read more
