Athens - the cradle of western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy.
It has a lot to offer if you keep your wits about you! We spent 2 days here.. roaming through the streets, eating gyros and souvlaki (my newest flavour addiction) and scaling the Acropolis to take in the beauty of the Parthenon.
Our hotel was an oasis amongst the bustling city streets of downtown Athens. Fresh Hotel has a stunning rooftop pool with spectacular views of the Parthenon. Sunset called for cocktails in the open air, and conversations with new friends. Nicole and Jeremy were a lovely newlywed couple from LA who had just done a 10 day whirlwind honeymoon.. congrats guys! :)
I would recommend travelling through here with things that are little of value to you. I had my necklace ripped off my neck whilst walking to the station in the morning, it was a christmas present and one of my favourites. It was more scary than anything.
We've made it to the islands now and all bad experiences in the past, we're having an amazing time. The cameras are getting a good work out, I'm looking forward to showing you what we've been up to!
