      Athens adventure

      May 1, 2023 in Greece ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Enjoying lunch in a taverna near our hotel and I look over my darling husbands shoulder and I see the acrockolipse (as he calls it). It adds to the many sights I have seen over his shoulder including the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall of China. A big walking morning to Parliament House, the Plaka and the botanic gardens is rewarded with a half liter of Greek white wine, fava beans, toasted bread with olive oil and halloumi salad. Thousands of steps!
      Lunch includes fava beans and and Greek white (not Chianti!) followed by halloumi salad and walnut cake washed down with ouzo. Our new hotel is available after lunch and the room is very comfortable and the reception friendly and helpful. It was a luxury escape so we have breakfast included and a bottle of wine to enjoy looking at the acrockolypse. Great value at $210 a night we think! Great location! Afternoon sightseeing walking Roman Agora, flea market more dining and shopping areas. Everywhere is interesting and something to see. We watch the sunset with a bottle of wine looking at the acropolis- not hungry after our lukamedes stop - donut balls with pistachio snd white chocolate stuffing with pistachio gelato - amazing!
      The end of a perfect first day in Athens.

      Day 3 Athens

      May 2, 2023 in Greece ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      More Lukumades and then Gyros last night and to the rooftop to watch the Acropolis light up. Rose and aperol spritz followed by a free shot of something clear for our digestion and to bed. It’s raining and we feel warm and comfy first in the roof top bar and then in our comfy bed. A great nights sleep no outside noise and up for breakfast with our view again. To the archeological museum and more pots and statues than you can poke a stick at. It’s very amazing and informative. Back to the hop on bus and we hop off at the Acropolis to catch the bus to the beach. A bit of a wait so of course it’s a stop at a very lovey spot for beer and fetta rolls! We find a taverna by the sea and indulge in a bottle of rose assorted seafood including white bait, mussels and cod and greek salad. We meet a beach cat amongst the pigeons and make our way back to the hotel.Read more

    • Day 74 - Paros to Athens, Greece

      September 21, 2023 in Greece ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

      Today is the last full day on the island. We had breakfast then had a quick chat to Chris & Barbs and packed our stuff. Our little Hybrid Fiat Panda fits all our luggage with ease in the boot!

      We drove to Naousa and had another look around the village, we figured we’d seen majority the village had to offer and seeing it is much more lively at night we headed to find some lunch at another village.
      We ended back at Back to Back in Piso Livadi, a few boa buns & some onion rings, the Greeks know how to feed people very well!

      Next bay over is Paralia Logaras beach, we found a good parking spot, it had a shower to clean ourselves off from the salty water, so we ended up having a swim and relax on the beach.

      We went back through Aliki village to grab a little souvenir for our time in Paros. We filled up the car & returned it at Paros Airport, this airport is tiny compared to some of the airports we’ve been to so was fun working out how they do things here.

      We flew out to Athens, before flying I had messaged the Accomadation in Athens with our arrival time, she soon told me there is massive strikes in Athens and that the metro wasn’t running and the bus may not be running either. The buses were running until 9pm, we got on what I presume to be one of the last ones for the evening.
      Once close to CBD Athens, the roads were blocked by traffic and the bus driver announced the last stop was blocked off and it’s easier to walk. We started walking to the accommodation and along the walk found traffic jams everywhere that what was actually blocking the CBD.
      Three riot squad busses blocking the road with riot squad heading down a side street, another lot getting gas masks on. We hustled out of there pretty fast and worked out a way so we were going the opposite way from the protesters and the riot squad.

      We made it to the Accomadation and then headed to grab some dinner. We stumbled upon a small plate eatery, Granada, the server was very friendly to us! We were amazed at 10pm how busy it was!

      After dinner we had a quick walk and found out how good and lively the area is that we are staying in! They even have a resturant named Klook, that is a Halloween themed resturant all year round, it specialises in desserts so you can bet money this is on the itinerary now!
