Athens was amazing!  I have to say though, the city was not at all how I had imagined it.  This surprise is probably a result of my lack of research on modern day Athens, but nonetheless, I was surprised.  Athens is a city where the history books could go on and on about.  Greek…

  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…

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......

My short trip to Athens in the begining of last summer.

My family and I traveled to Greece, mainly the Islands, and finally to Lesvos where my family is from! It was amazing!

One crazy week in Greece with my schoolmates!

I spent a week in each country. In Turkey, I saw Istanbul, Kusadasi, Pamukkale, and Ephesus. In Greece, I enjoyed Paros, Santorini, and Athens. In Egypt, I visited Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and sailed The Nile.

One of the most amazing places I will ever go...the island was a great place to relax after spending 8 weeks running around London. It had the most amazing sunsets, the greatest beach side cabanas, and wonderful hospitality!

So today was our only full day in Athens! We stayed two nights but we didn't get in till 4am last night and tomorrow we have to leave the hostel around 5:30am to get to the port to catch our ferry to ios! We woke up a little late seeing as we didn't arrive until the wee hours of the morning so when…
