... is why I enjoyed the Haphaeston better. It was original and untouched pretty much. It's smaller and not so majestic, but it's whole. Athens is going to take more time than I expected. There's just way too much to do here. On the downside is that ...
Island in the Sun
... religious holiday this Monday, so the Filipinos are partying early. I didn't realize there was so much of a presence here in Athens. I actually found the consulate in Thessaloniki as well. So there really is a population. I had siopao and ensaimada and ...
More Repairs - is it REALLY Possible?!?
... 8216;open‘. Great. What to do? This did not seem to be working out for us. A huge city like Athens, I thought we would be able to find what we needed. I’m not sure how much longer ingenuity and creativity will continue ...
Cycling Athens!
... of the cycle-tourist who had been going around the world and clocked 1000’s and 1000’s of kms, finally got to Athens and was killed by a car. Seeing the streets and the traffic made that seem like a definite possibility! But after ...
Tour 5271 / 0820 Day 16
Hi After a good breakfast we left Athens for Patros where are to get a Fast ferry to Ancona and then travel to San Marino. Weather is great and after 1.5 hours we had a half hour comfort stop near Corinth. Jackie did a little shopping and after a ...
Ancient History
Today was a nice day. We had the entire day free in Athens so I decided to just roam around. I started at the off at the changing of the guards which was cool. They wear this kilt like uniforms with long stockings and then funny shoes that are pointy ...
Athens Greece!
October 12th to the 16th, 2005: Athens, Greece So this past Wednesday Lindsey and I left for Greece. We got on the 10:16 train to Ancona (which was five minutes late, and that's the only reason we made it.) In Ancona we took a ferry by a company called ...
It's all Greek to me!
... construction on it took some of the magic out of it. Apparently though, the Parthenon is always under construction. The food in Greece is magnificent, as is the fact that wine is so normal that we get liters of it for free when we go out ...
Athens and home
... Every traveller we encountered on our trip, and I'm not exaggerating..every one we met, told us that you only need one day in Athens. This was fine with me because I could have gotten a little beach hut job in the Greek Isles and eaten Slouvaki and soaked ...
Piraeus
... , lekythos- similar to a vase; oinochoe-like a jug; . Then we walked along the ancient Periclean- Themistoclean walls of Athens. We saw the Sacred Gate used in the Panathenaic festival from Eleusis & the Dipylon Gate which was the ...
Hit the ground running...
... would come later! Crossing the road and up the hill past where Byron frequented we came to a real hidden gem, a part of Athens I'd never expected. Around the edge of the Acropolis (which loomed teasing us) was a quite beautiful, peaceful district much ...
A Tad Bit Tipsy in Athens
... arrived in Athens in one piece, only missing Anne's luggage. We paid in advance for a tour package offering 2 nights in Athens, 3 nights in Mykonos, 3 nights in Santorini and all flights, airport transfers, ferries, breakfasts, hotels, etc. included while ...
Athens, Greece
... was really nice and it was so smooth that you couldn't tell you were on the water. We arrived in Patras, Greece at about 12:30 pm and took a train to Athens. We arrived finally in Athens at about 5:00 pm. Our hostel is about a 20 minute walk from the ...
And then, Athens
... to Athens, and the town is nothing like Rome. I was expecting more ruins everywhere I turned, but there weren't many. Instead, Athens reminded me of a Greek Los Angeles--everything was very spread out. We were lucky with our hostel because it was in ...
Athens, Greece
... Hotel, located directly beneath the Parthenon, we saw the breaking news story: two men had kindapped a bus full of people in Marathon, Greece, not far from where we were staying! A hint for the frugal traveler: walking is the best way to see Athens, and ...

For our last night in Greece we decided to have "dinner with a view" at our hotel The Athenian ...
VERY Short Note
Quick note: Made it alive to Athens. Spent most of the day resting up after lots of travel yesterday. I leave tomorrow for small island of Karpathos out between Crete and Rhodes. Am not at all sure, and quite likely am sure, that will have not ...
Back to Athens
Here now, we find ourselves once again in a place of comparitive familiarity. Odd that we could ever consider Athens, Greece familiar, and yet... So anyway, plans changed somewhat in the course of our travels in the Cyclades (the archipelago in which ...
Potulky po Atenach
Dnesny plan dany Neom bol nasledovny: "Rano oddychovat a na vecer ist na gala veceru pri prilezitosti otvorenia vystavy". Vcelku dobra pracovna napln sluzobky, co poviete? :-) Tak som rano o 8:00 vstal a isiel som si pozriet mesto za dna. Od ...
Ancient Athens - land of gods and goddesses
... . To our relief, she was...so then it was time to "parrrteeeeeee" or perhaps I should say "holidayyyyyy relaxeeee". Our time in Athens seemed to be just right (then again, I think we would have appreciated more shopping time). We did our sightseeing of ...
Greece
Spent almost two weeks in Greece, stopping in Athens and the islands of Santorini, Naxos, and Mykonos. All around, a great trip: wonderful people, beautiful beaches and scenery, great food, very relaxing... The history is amazing. ...
Greece is the word

Athens
We had begun our stay yesterday in Athens on such a bad note that we could only hope things got better. The Best Western offered breakfast and a plentiful one too, with cereal, boiled eggs, toast, fruit etc. The fruit in particular was excellent. Having ...
visiting Athens and the Acropolis
Today we docked really early at the port of Pireus, Greece. Our excursion left at 8:45am this morning. I slept the entire bus ride to Athens. I think my cough is getting worse. I was up all night and felt really bad because I think I kept everyone else up ...
6 dni cesty na zapad
Noc pred tym ako dom odchadzal do Aten som si hovoril: "Nie je toho cestovania na tento mesiac uz aj dost?" Ale akonahle som sa priblizil k letisku, znova mi vsetky zilky ozili a vsetka unava z cestovania sa stratila a ... uz nikdy neprisla. Takze som ...
Dear Readers, Truly Sorry
I stupidly didn't update this thing from the hostel computers, so now I'm trying to type on an absolutely airport terminal. To hell with this, I'll tell you about the the last few days in retrospect. I will probably be out of the loop for the next ...
We Made It!
After almost twenty four hours of travel we have made it to Greece. We all managed to arrive on time and the plane left on time with out a hitch. Actually, our flight to Chicago and our flight to Munich both landed early for a change. We were all so ...
'Ne' Means 'Yea'
... had an amazing lunch with more food than we could eat and were ready to finish the ride. Working our way towards Athens is a bit intimidating in itself. London and Paris were cities we simply trained into and toured around. We are ...
