Best Western Fenix Hotel Athens

... I see them looking at them but going on eating them. <br><br>We should deny having things of bad quality brought to us in the first place, and either leave or wait for another dish to come. Probably this couple had no idea what they should have done!!!<br><br><br><br>I have also been helpful to couples who were trying to take pictures of each other. Because I ...

... beautiful, and I would take the opportunity to stop and pray when the came on. Finally, I have loved that despite that fact that there is a lot to see here, it's all fairly compact. I walked several miles today, I'm sure. I could have taken buses or subways, but I love walking and seeing different neighborhoods. And almost everywhere I went, there was a route that was mostly pedestrian streets. This is now very much a walking city. I'll burn some more calories tomorrow.

... saved.) I spent a long time on the Acropolis and came to the conclusion there was no way I could describe it any better than any other writer over the last few millennia. It speaks for itself really. If you're passing through Greece then it is a must see (although it's also the only really good reason to go to Greece anyway) and I would say that, money permitting, it'd be worth going to Athens just to see it. Oh, and for fans of stray dogs, don't worry, there are a lot ...

... br>The most exciting view, however, was of course the Acropolis. Seeing it from afar was much better than gazing up the coloumns when you are actually in the Acropolis. Like all the other<br>tourists, we spent some time lingering about the churchyard while waiting for the lights at the Acropolis to be switched on. And when they finally did, we had to fight the mad surge of tourists rushing for the best spots for photos of the imposing Acropolis in its full ...

... it is the remains of something else, but I didn't really investigate because I was too busy trying very hard not to be blown away. It was *unbelievably* windy up there. The whole visit took only like an hour, or less really because we were waiting for a bus. Then another bus ride back. In the afternoon I retreated back to the hostel because some slave driver made me get up at 7:30 in the morning. We had dinner at a little restaurant, and on the way I struck a guy who decided he ...

... Done with ease thankfully but seriously, now what? It was a Friday night and I didn't have anywhere to stay in Milan, nor did I have any info or phone numbers with me to even call the place I had stayed at to see if he had space for the night. I didn't really want to go back into the city again and spend the money on transport back in and then back to the airport, and have to wander around trying to find somewhere affordable in the city, as places like that are hard to come by in ...

... LRC looking out Louise had decided that the LRC would be initially open from 8:00 am - 11:00 pm. I thought that was completely out of line (I hate working that late!) but Grete, the LRC Director, and I will actually see how patron attendance goes and adjust the hours accordingly. By now, the second day of classes, it has been pretty busy most of the time except meal ...

The last day of the first leg of our cruise. Piraeus is a familiar port as I had family there. We spent the day taking the train for 80 Euro cents to Monastiraki Station in the heart of Athens and walked to Constitution Square and watched the changing of the guards. I forgot how impressive it was, if you haven't seen it, make it a point next time you visit. We then went to the obligitory visit to the Acropolis which always blows me away and walked around the Agora ...

... the guy on the field led the crowd by raising his arms straight above his head, followed by a single clap. The claps got faster and faster, then a big yell at the end. We tried to high-tail around all the fans and vendors to catch the train before it stopped running at midnight. There was a large crowd but we slipped into the first car. We were a bit nervous since we did not have tickets. But we made it back without a problem. Off to bed.

... Rhodes, Santorini, Tinos, Syros, Naxos, and Hydra. We crossed Rhodes off the list because it was too far away (17 hr. ferry ride), and I didn&#8217;t want to fly there. For a while, it looked like either Naxos or Syros would be the winner. However, once we got to Greece and actually saw a real ferry schedule, it seemed like a good idea to adjust our plans and go to Hydra. Both Naxos and Syros were served by one-to-two ferries a week. We didn&#8217;t want to take the chance of ...
