Landed in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷

A 10 hour flight from Atlanta, Georgia and we wake up in sunny Athens, Greece. Our passports are stamped and we will soon be on our way to the Piraeus cruise port! We booked a driver through Viator and will try to slide him some extra Euros to drive us by some of the tourist sights. I should have planned better and flown in a day early to see more of Athens, but the work guilt got me.

Athens is not what I expected although we are only seeing the airport and heading to the cruise port, with just distant views of the tourist sites. Our driver said the city of Athens has 5 million people…while the entire country has 10 million people. The city looks run down and poor. Weird to see stores like IKEA and Lidl. Lots of graffiti on the buildings.もっと詳しく
