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 want to go to Greece SO BAD. It was one of the places on my “must visit” list when I studied in Europe that I didn’t make it to.
I am obsessed with tea and would love to try some new flavors!
How long ago was your honeymoon now? Ever itch to go back? I would love to go to Greece – seems like so much to see and lots of walking involved – don’t like to be stagnant :)
My family is greek and my father & grandmother live in Athens. It’s an amazing place…insanely spiritual and the food is unreal. This tea is stellar…the white is great iced with a greek salad!
Greece looks amazing! I must get there someday. And the tea looks pretty good too!
Beautiful pictures, I’ve always wanted to visit Greece. The teas sound yummy!! I always love trying new teas
