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.

I LOVE tea! I fancy myself somewhat of a tea snob and have recently began excuslively drinking loose tea. But, it’s soooo expensive! I’d love to try some Feel Good Tea :-) It has to be decaf or herbal, but the list showed some yummy flavors that would work.
I’m not much of a traveler, but one place I’d love to go is Greece. It looks so beautiful! Thanks for the heads up about the dogs; I’ll want to smuggle them all home, too ;-)
ohh my gosh those look so good :D, beautiful pictures!
AHHHHH Athens/Greece just seems so amazing! So much history that has taken place there, as well as the beautiful scenery. And I love coffee and tea so bring it on :D
