Stunning day in Athens touring.
Walked a hill to reach a church and a panoramic view of the city. Didn't realise that it's HUGE. Wide and expansive in every direction. Had lunch at one of the best locations I ever have - a pre packaged pita pocket while looking right over the earth of Athens to the sea beyond, the ferries roaming about visible to my contact lensed eye.
Visited an Olympic stadium from 1896 and the marble stadium. Walked through gardens, heat and a lot of weird looks for wearing shorts when it's only 23 degrees.
Trekked up to the Acropolis and roamed the ancient structures that are too old to fathom. History personified.
Headed out at night for a stroll and some delicious yogurt, in my opinion this is when Athens is at it's most beautiful!
Ferry at 7.30am tomorrow morning, off to Naxos! Ready to beach, sun, and hire scooters!!
Still don't understand a word of Greek: spoken or written.
Off to bed. Dead tired. And sunburnt, yay! Means I've seen some Vitamin D!
