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.

Yum! Strawberry green tea sounds so good!
Your pictures are pretty incredible… Love the one with the cafe on the right, with the trees going over the walkway – it looks cool with the couple blurred out!
I drink so much tea, and loose leaf is always way better than bags. This is a great giveaway!
I love tea!!

I have always wanted to go to Greece! It is on my bucket list.
Some unusual tea choices I’ve never tried or seen before. If banana’s can make healthy vegan ice cream, I’m sure they can do tea justice too! I want to go to the Greek isles sooo badly, one day. Enjoy your time, great photos as always.
Those teas sound amazing!
And your photos are beautiful as always, Angela. That poor stray dog, though. :(
Beautiful photos!!!
All the teas sound lovely, but toasted walnut – I’m not convinced ;)
Hi Angela!

This is the first I’ve heard of these teas, but they’ve really sparked my interest (and taste buds)! All the flavors sound positively delightful and wonderfully indulgent!

Loose leaf tea is my fav :)
Your pictures are amazing! And, those sweet stray dogs! I wanted all the stray cats on our Jamaican honeymoon. :-) I’d love to win the tea- the flavors sound too god to pass up!
Those pictures are ‘feel good’ too but, the tea looks super yummy and would be a nice ‘back to school for this teacher’ (me)’ treat!
Wow, Greece looked beautiful! Are you planning on visiting again?
