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.

Trying to get off coffee so would love the tea! :)
I love tea and just started graduate school. It would be awesome to have some delicious, fresh tea in my new office!
I’d SO love to visit Greece. Sometimes I feel like my uni degree is basically one in classic mythology. It would be cool to actually see some of the remains.
Those teas look wonderful. I especially love Rooibos tea. Honey bush is similar and my total favorite.
TEAAAAA! :) Yes yes yes! :) drinking tea while reading a book every night is one of my favourite moments of the day :)
And I’ve never been to Greece, would love to go there one day!
Toasted walnut tea sounds delicious….I’m not sure about chocolate banana, but I’d love to try it!
It’s almost fall and tea is the perfect drink!
Your pictures are gorgeous!
I love tea and I LOVED Athens!
I’m getting really tired of my current tea flavors so this would be awesome! :D

Love your pictures! I also would like to start drinking more tea and less coffee. Baby steps, but if I can begin to substitute tea for coffee a few days a week that would be progress!
