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.

Love tea! It’s one way to keep me hydrated during my 12 hour shifts – water can get a little boring sometimes!
Would love some of the tea! I am a big tea drinker, especially since I don’t drink coffee.
Loving the pics from the honeymoon – Greece is high on my list of places to visit.
i think strawberry love may be my favourite from the list :)
Love tea! Could me in, please :) I would love to win this random draw!
all of those teas sound fantastic! i love a nice, hot cup of tea on a chilly day :)
As a self proclaimed tea fiend, i mezmorized by the different flavours! Would love to win!
So jealous, Greece is in my top 5 places to go visit!! Sometime soon I will go! Oh and those teas look amazing!! Hope you pick me!! :-)
I love loose leaf teas. These look amazing
Strawberry green tea sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing your pictures! I agree- I would’ve tried to probably adopt as many pups as I possibly could!
I wish that banana bread tea would just jump into my mug now!!
I just wish it would cool down enough that I actually could enjoy some hot tea…I am SO over summer!
I’ve been out since Thursday night with stomach flu. Nothing would be better than some tea to comfort & soothe my intestinal tract as I can’t keep anything down.
Oooo Greece looks loverly!!! The tea does also :-) Thanks for the giveaway!
Awh I wish I could adopt one of those poor dogs!
Tea, please!
Drinking tea in the morning is my favorite moment of the day. It’s my “me” time and I’d love to have new kinds of tea to try!
athens & greece look amazing (:
tea- brings back winter.
I adore tea- and am always looking for fun new varieties to try out! As my welsh grandmother always used to say, “Nothing can compare to a nice cup of tea!”
My favorite place to drink is in Glasgow, what a city!!!!
I’ve been to Greece a handful of times, but never in Athens. Kind of silly when I think about it. The pictures are lovely, and I love me some green tea. I’m definitely partial to herbal teas.
