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.

Athens looks lovely. Looks like you’re having an awesome time!
I am obsessed with tea and I just got some new mugs!!
Athens has always been high on my list of places to visit – looks beautiful!
And well, tee, has always been high on my “I need this first thing in the morning list” :)
I have been to Greece too! I went by myself a couple of years ago. I recognize a lot of these photos!
oooh my gosh! travel and tea, my two favorite things!!
Thank you for sharing your travels! It is wonderful to see other places in the world :)
I’m trying to kick the daily coffee habit, but bagged lipton tea just doesn’t do it for me. I think I could get excited about drinking tea if it was fresh, flavorful and fun to make. This tea collection looks perfect. Also, I start a new job on Monday and I know this tea would be great to share with new coworkers during any afternoon lulls.
WOW your honeymoon pictures are beautiful!! An ideal honeymoon exploring Europe…love it!
And I live for tea…I drink it 365 days of the year no matter what the temp is outside!

That puppy picture made me sad… he looks so lonely! I would want to bring them all home too.
