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.

The tea looks amazing!!!
chocolate banana tea sounds amazing!!!
Ah, great memories looking at your pics. I’ve been to Greece twice and was married in Santorini. Beautiful country. I wasn’t vegan then, and lived on yogurt, greek salad with hunks of feta, and gyros off of the street carts. Going to a greek restaurant is the one thing that is sort of hard for me now because my tastebuds still remember how good the food was.
the pictures are amazing!!! Greece is one of my top dream destinations!!
All those teas sound super yummy!!! Hooray for giveaways :)
I’d love to go to Greece, and the tea looks amazing too!
Those teas sound delicious!! I’m glad you enjoyed Greece, I haven’t heard the greatest things about it but would love to see for myself someday.
Beautiful photos! And a great giveaway. I looooove tea and have recently switched from coffee to tea.
Those teas look amazing, I have given up coffee and am trying to just drink tea. I would love to win, thanks for the opportunity!
Mmmmm.. would love to try new teas!
I love, love, love tea!! Crossing my fingers ….
Love the sounds of these teas! Since many teas have ingredients with nuts, berries, and other fruits, I put my steeped leftover leaves on top of my morning yogurt!
I’d love to be considered for the teas!
