Athens Travel Blogs - Page 6

Spent a few weeks in Greece in March 2006. Beautiful country with vast culture!

So Athens was my fouth stop during my backpacking trip in Europe. I've met a lot of people from all over the world and experiences have come and gone.  So I can describe Athens as a country rich in history. I've had my share of laughs and scares in athens. Some guys were following us when we w…

Graduating in May I headed to the Caribbean, then to Spain and Denmark, then the southern US, then Greece, followed by Turkey and Cyprus, then Greece again, and finally the central US.

Adding to a long line of great travels together, my friend Milton and I decided to utilise the time we had while he was over from Australia to go and check out lovely Greece. He pretty much organised the trip from start to finish and I was more than happy to coast along for the ride, finally fulfilling my dream to see the Acropolis... dodging stray dogs and tasting some wonderful Greek dishes along the way.

My first European trip ever!

Here I was leaving Nafplion for Athens, and from Athens I was planning on flying back to Australia and home to New Zealand.  Last night I had been overwhelmed by a sense of despair that my year had raced by so quickly.    I thought about my going back to Tokoroa where I would return …

Island hopping around the Greek Islands in the summer of 2005 with a few friends.

Get out of bed at 07:45 – we also made sure our mobile woke us up on time. We pack all our things for the last time; Timo goes to the supermarket and returns immediately, because the market ‘Zoom’ is closed. Within 30 minutes all is ready and we can go for breakfast. In the neighborhood on th…

Anyone else find it ironic that Athens--Greek flavor--pushed so hard to get the 1996 centennial Olympics, which instead went to Atlanta, where some of the events were held in Athens. . . Georgia? No, just me? Screw you. As some of you who know me have found out, mostly to your detriment, I’m exc…

The Acropolis, mountains, great food, smog, ferries, traffic jams, night life..... beaches, ruins, the original marathon......

  Well, as I had expected my time in Greece has been, well, interesting so far. After the debacle with the buses and trains trying to find our hostel, then finding that we're in the world's seediest red light district, things continued along the same disastrous path. Met a few cool people…

The subject line pretty much sums up how Danielle and I feel about Greece so far.  It is absolutely spectacular!  And probably one of the most relaxing places I have ever been.  I know I can speak for both of us when I say that we are getting some much needed R&R!  The peopl…
