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.

Oh! I love tea! I’ve been brewing my own kombucha for a few months, so it gives me extra reasons to stock up on fun flavors. Thanks for offering such a fun prize!
My brother and sister-in-law went to Athens and Santorini for their honeymoon this summer! They were actually there during the riots! They loved Greece though! And I’d love to win that giveaway! I’m a huge tea fan!
Your pictures from Greece ate amazing. What a unique opportunity for you!
Haha. Ate was supposed to be are :)
Athens is one place (among many) I’d love to go. Thanks for sharing!
I love tea! I wish I drank it more often, especially with all of the health benefits
I love tea! Pick me! :)
I so want to go to Greece someday. And those teas look fabulous – I love interesting flavors!
I bag loose tea for my coop shift, which is pretty much the most amazing ‘job’ ever. I’ve collected tons of flavors, but the idea of banana chocolate is blowing my mind.
i love tea! i just can’t get enough :)
banana bread and walnut flavors? woah!
These flavors sound amazing! I love relaxing with a cup of tea before bedtime :)
These pictures are great! When I was in Greece I actually didn’t explore Athens at all and just took off for Santorini. I will definitely have to take a trip back to see the city for myself! The stray dogs are so sad though :(
This is a dream give-away!!!
omigosh those teas sound amazing…. loose leaf tastes so much better than the bagged teas, too!
Great pictures – we’re saving for Greece and hoping to go next spring!
I’m really loving tea these days and saying goodbye to coffee. Please enter me into the tea give away! Thanks, Angela!!
Greece is definately on my bucket list (hopefully sooner than later).
Mmmm…tea, just in time for those fall evenings that are just around the corner :(
I’d love to try these teas, especially Banana Bread and Strawberry!
Hey ya, Anglea!
The herbal teas look incredible-i love making herbal tea infusions with these dried herbs/bark/flowers. I’d really enjoy the opportunity to brew them up, chill them, and share them with my lady friends at the pool these last few, beautiful, Minnesota summer days!
Keep on inspiring me!
