Next up, on our Honeymoon tour: Athens, Greece!
Missed Stop 1? Venice
Fun facts about Athens:
- Athens is the largest city & capital of Greece
- It’s one of the world’s oldest cities
- Population: approximately 3,932,756
- First modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896
- Birthplace of many prominent writers, philosophers, politicians and scientists of the ancient world, including Sophocles, Socrates and Pericles.
And it’s smokin’ hot! 
It reached a high of 38 degrees Celsius the day we were there. Eric and I were sweating buckets while climbing the Acropolis and Filopappos hill. We finally reached the top of the Acropolis and discovered there was no water to be found, just a lot of thirsty tourists! If you ever find yourself climbing this, bring more than 1 bottle of water… ;)
There are about 150,000 stray dogs living on the streets in Athens. I wanted to take all of them home…
After our climbs, we headed to the Plaka shopping area where there are a lot of tourist/market type shops and high end shopping too.

Your honeymoon looks like it was fantastic! And the tea looks delicious. Thanks for hosting another great giveaway.
Beautiful photos! It makes me want to get away for awhile, which is much-needed! Oh, and that tea is packaged so cleanly….looks divine!
I love tea!!!!
Loved your pictures! The very first one where the trees frame the Acropolis just became my desktop :) and the one with you in the Sepia tones leaning on the graffiti? That’s a gorgeous picture of you. Have a great day!
Those pictures are AMAZING! It’s like I’m right there too!
I love the pictures! Thanks for sharing, you’re beautiful!
Your pictures are GORGEOUS! SO jealous of your honeymoon! :)
So jealous of your honeymoon! I’ve always wanted to get to the Mediterranean and one day I will! My best friend is currently starting her second week in Italy so I’m living vicariously through her at the moment!
I just started reading the Iliad, so your post is fascinating to me, as such a visual person :)
I’d love to have some new teas to bring along with me to University (starting in two weeks, eeeee, hence the Iliad ;) )
These look yummy!
Wonderful pictures! I can practically smell the tea through my computer screen!!
Great pictures! The tea looks delicious!
mmmm looks awesome. Thanks for the giveaway
I’ve always wanted to go to Greece..someday!! It’s so beautiful. Thanks for sharing! :)
Aww, those poor dogs! I would have wanted to take them all home with me too!
The honeymoon pics are beautiful – the picture of the sleeping dog is my favorite although I wish someone would take him home. Tea heals.
I am trying to get into drinking more tea! I love the idea of loose leaf tea, but haven’t perfected it yet. Hope I win!
I’d love to go to Greece one day! Thanks for running the giveaway — I drink about 10 cups of tea a day. Would be fun to try something new.
