Two Days In Athens

We woke up to rain. It never rains in Greece must be because the Clarkes are in town. We booked a hop on hop off bus to get a feel for the city and rode almost the full route. We got off close to the Acropolis and decided to walk up to the entrance. It was really busy and the only entrance time available was at 4. We decided to come back Tuesday morning and booked tickets for 10 am. We climbed the Areopagus and were amazed with the view. We wandered down the slope to the Thiseo area. Randy and I found a nice sidewalk cafe for a snack and cold drink. Mike and Lori visited the Ancient Agora. We wandered through the Plaka area for dinner that evening. We spent the next morning exploring the Acropolis. It was amazing and well worth the crowds. Afterward we found a nice restaurant for lunch and a bit of a rest before walking back to our hotel. It was a beautiful afternoon, and we decided the rooftop pool was a great place to spend our last afternoon in Athens. We went back to see Alejandro again for dinner. He gave us a tour of the garden event center behind the restaurant. It was magical with about 20 chandeliers and fairy lights everywhere. Even the bathrooms were beautiful with blue marble walls and floors and copper fittings. Oh, and the food was good too. It was a really nice last night in Greece.Read more
