Honeymoon Photography: Athens, Greece & Giveaway!

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.
