Dag 2
Athens, We Made It!
2. juni 2023, Hellas ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
We arrived in Athens! We landed in Spata and took a 40-min ish bus ride to The London Hotel in Athens. We are next to a beach.

We were exhausted! We met our tour guide for the trip, Mariana. As we ride to the hotel, she gave us the lowdown on the trip activities. She also gave us some interesting information about some of the sights.

We had dinner and I *almost* got everyone to look at the camera. Some are going to be a challenge!

After dinner, we checked out the rooftop garden and got an amazing view!

Tomorrow is a really full day visiting the Acropolis, among other places. We do get a later start, which is nice, but the rest of the time is up early and go, go, go!

It is off to bed for us!Les mer

Dag 3
Dinner and an Evening Swim
3. juni 2023, Hellas ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
Oh, what a day in Athens! After our inspiring visit to the Acropolis, we nestled into a charming outdoor restaurant in Plaka, also known as "The Neighborhood of the Gods." Between the picturesque cobblestone streets, quaint shops, and vibrant eateries, it's hard not to fall in love with this part of town. Dinner was wonderful and we were treated to ice cream for dessert!

The journey back to our hotel was a unique experience. All 46 of us managed to fit onto a city bus! It was a short ride but gave us a taste of Athenian daily life. Certainly a cultural experience!

Even after a day with a lot of walking in the warm sun, the kids still had energy to spare, so a large group of us headed to the beach for an evening swim in the Saronic Gulf, part of the Aegean Sea.

At 68 degrees, it was not quite as warm as the kids expected, but that didn't dampen the fun!

By the time we got everyone settled into their rooms, they were finally ready to call it a day. Let's just say the chaperones were more than ready for some rest too! 🤣

Here's to another day of adventures tomorrow. Goodnight from Athens, everyone!Les mer

Athens...underwhelming
25. august 2023, Hellas ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Arrived in Athens in the wee morning hours after a very delayed flight from London. The hotel is glorious, but I got the impression, once leaving its beautiful walls, that tourists are a burden that Greece must tolerate, and only just tolerate.
The beaches of the Greek Riviera are stunning, but Athens itself, while offering many historical sites that you gaze at in awe, the rest of the city is a mix of crumbling ruins. Dilapidated buildings and modern cosmopolitan structures with branding of name brands. Beggars are everywhere, even approaching cars stopped in the traffic for a few Euro. It is a city of opposites, with gracious people who are happy to assist, while many who inflate prices and are openly rude to the tourist. Kind of a European version of Noumea, that anyone who has sailed to the Pacific port will agree.Les mer

Glyfada
4. februar, Hellas ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Heute besuchen wir ein Turtel Rescue Center. Die kleine Führung ist gratis und sehr interessant. Aktuell leben 22 Schildkröten auf der Station, 2 grüne Meeres Schildis und der rest Caretta Caretta. Wir zeigen ihnen ein Foto von unserem Fund in Kalamata und sie können die grösse kaum fassen. Also war es wirklich eine riesige.
Das Rescue Zenter lebt von Spenden und Volontärs. Also wer sein Geld gut investieren möchte. Hier ist ein guter Ort. Denn die Schildis haben sehr oft Lungenprobleme von Verschluckten Fischerhaken, teils Plastik oder Kopfverletzungen von Ankern. Nichts schönes.

Wir sind in der Gegend geblieben weil wir noch in die Ikea wollen, Christa will ein kleines Kräuter Gärtchen.
Wie es aktuell aussieht streichen wir schweren Herzens die Türkei und werden mal in den Ferien da hin gehen. Da die Fähre nicht fährt, kostet uns dieser Spass enorm viel, auch Zeit. Ausserdem kommen die Kosten auf ähnliches, wie wenn wir ende September 1,5 Wochen hinfliegen, ein Auto miteten und im Air bnb Wohnen. Also leider wird es diesmal nicht. Es gibt keine Fähren. Statt Rhodos machen wir noch Thessaloniki und sehen hoffentlich da oben noch mehr Tiere.Les mer

Trip back to Athens riviera

יום נסיעה מיואנינה דוך חזרה לכיוון אתונה. החלטנו להעביר את הלילות האחרונים בריביירה האתונאית ולא בתוך אתונה עצמה. באמצע הדרך עצרנו לא. צהריים בכפר נידח ונטוש על הים. הגענו בערב למלון היפה, נחנו ויצאנו לא. ערב מפנקת במסעדה איטלקית וסוף סוף מצאנו פסטה ללא גלוטן!Les mer
