The main treat we found in Athens is of course the Acropolis.  It stands high on a hill over looking the city and nothing in the books prepared us for the this majestic, ancient wonder.  Yes it was another big climb up but that made it all the more amazing.

Another  impressive sight was Ancient Agora. It was a bright, beautiful warm day which made exploring all the more enjoyable. So many people had walked these paths before us, gazing in awe at the sights before us.

When we could walk no more we stopped at an outdoor cafe for some long awaited Greek food and a glass or two (ok a bottle) of Retsina.  So good was the meal, we actually went back a second time…..will miss that place!

Other than the ancient ruins and a quick harbour peak we didn’t see much else of Athens. The city didn’t wow us as other cities had and on Sunday everything seemed to be closed other than the tourist areas.  No matter we were off soon enough.
