Athens Day 2

Unfortunately the worst morning of the trip - we couldn't get the air con to work which resulted in an airless, sleepless night in a 30 degree apartment. It also happened to be the day where we had to stay in and wait for our package of belongings to be sent over from England!! We tried cold showers, sleeping on the balcony and I even brushed my teeth in the fridge!

By 12ish the air BnB host arrived to fix the air con and by around 4 the package had arrived safely and we were ready to head out for another evening in Athens.

I had found a vegan gyros place on trip advisor that looked great so we set off on our 40 minute walk to 'CookooMela' (part of the name translates into the grilled mushrooms used for the filling).

We stopped at a traditional tavern on the walk with live Greek music and cheap beers! The good prices continued at CuckooMela - €3 for the gyros and €1.5 for a beer! We both devoured the amazing wraps, even Craig was shocked at how delicious they were.

Our next stop was a wine bar called 'by the glass'. I was introduced to an amazing Greek wine 'L'Esprit Du Lac' that tasted just like a Provence rosé (even better than whispering angel - shamelessly my first drink in the Greek wine bar). Craig also found a great bear called Septem. We headed home after a few drinks and enjoyed a proper, cool night's sleep!Read more
