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’ve never come across a banana flavoured tea before… I’m so curious about that banana bread blend now!
They look so yummy! <3
I love your photos of Greece! I’ve always wanted to go! And the dog is so cute!
Your pictures make me want to travel, thanks for sharing!
I’ve always wanted to go to Greece- ever since this history class in jr. high where the teacher mentioned glass bottom boats!
I’d love to win this one! I drink fresh iced tea allll day long :)
What a great giveaway!
I went to Athens four years ago and the number of stray dogs was out of this world! I went during January, so there were hardly any people on the Acropolis, but it was bitterly cold!
I would love this tea. Tea is such a healthy drink. Please choose me! :)
Your pictures of Greece are lovely. A friend of mine is getting married in 2 weeks and she is going to Greece for her honeymoon…She is so excited; can’t say I blame her! :) Hope I win this giveaway…I am a big tea person! :D
Love your pics! Greece is on my list of places to visit, thanks for sharing with us. Would love to win the tea…mmm! :D
Your honeymoon sounds amazing. I hope you get the opportunity to expand your world travels!
that tea looks heavenly!
I would have wanted to take all of the dogs home too – how sad!
Great photos! I would love to go to greece one day and win some yummy tea ;)
Im a huge green tea drinker, at least 3 cups a day! I cant wait to experiment with flavoured teas! the flavours sound amazing
I would love to win the tea! I am just getting into tea and love trying new ones!!
There is a rescue organization in the GTA that rescues dogs from Greece. Now it makes a little more sense why they would bring dogs from so far away. I wish they could all have loving homes.
And thank you for the opportunity to win some reallybyummy sounding tea!
Those teas look great! I’ve been meaning to try loose leaf tea for awhile now. Great photos of Athrns…looks like you’re having an amazing time!
