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 have been on a tea-kick lately and have really been wanting to try loose tea since I know the flavor is so much richer!
I would love to try this tea. I am trying to kick the soda habit and looking for a replacement that is good for me.
Thank you for your recipes and information!

Yummy tea for me please!
Wow beautiful. I would love to go to Greece someday!
oh my the toasted walnut sounds good :)
Greece looks wonderful! I’ve always wanted to go there. Their fresh, mediterranean food just seems like heven to me! Also, there is no such thing as too much tea. Those teas will definitely come in handy once the crisp fall air rolls in soon (eek!).
a competitor to davids tea?!
We were in Athens this year and luckily it wasn’t nearly as busy as it looks like it was when you were there!
I loved visiting Greece. I went in March so less touristy.
I love me my tea!
Beautiful pictures! The tea looks delicious!
Yesterday was the first chilly night in Montreal, and this morning the first chilly morning! Fall is creeping up on us I think… These teas would be welcome on a fall morning before I head out with my pup.
Gorgeous photos! That banana bread tea sounds so interesting!
