Church of the Pantanassa

As soon as the sun descend below the horizon line, we visit a beautiful orthodox church and walk by the Acrópolis museum, before starting heading back to our apartment. This actually proves to be more complicated than expected (my GPS seems to be more in retirement phase than on a holiday break). Anyways, in the end we make it back "home" and even get to see some unexplored places of Athens thanks to the involuntary detour.
Since we already had our dine-out experience yesterday, tonight we enjoy a home-made dinner using the cooking facilities of our apartment: salmon in tomato sauce! 🐠🍅😋

Tomorrow morning we have a veeery early start (we need to wake up at 4.30am at the latest), but we want to enjoy Athens until the very end, especially since we have already lost one day because of Lufthansa.

Gari, a Greek-born colleague of Ludo, recommended us to check out a bar with a rooftop offering a great view of the Acrópolis. And, even if it's already quite late, we decide to follow her tip. A decision we definitely don't regret!

When we finally get close to the bar - called "A for Athens" - we are overwhelmed by the view from the square: the Parthenon and the whole Acrópolis are exquisitely illuminated with warm lights and stand out against the black sky of the night.

Full of expectations, we enter the building carrying the "A for Athens" sign and, to be honest, we are taken by surprise: everything, lift included, feels like a red-light nightclub! 😲
Luckily, as soon as we reach the top, the ambiance changes drastically and, after a short wait, we are finally admitted to the famous terrace. All I can say is that Gari was totally right: this place is definitely worth the cost of a drink! And it's the beat possible way to say goodbye to Athens.. 😍Read more
