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’d love to try out this tea! Pretty soon I’ll be drinking hot tea almost daily again. :)
Mmm…toasted walnut? Sounds delish!
I could use some right now!
I love tea and always like trying something new. These look great.
Ooooo, I would love a hot cup of delicious tea. Fall is approaching and it always puts me in the mood for tea!!
This morning I thought about how should make the leap from coffee to tea!
Would love to try some loose leaf with my new steeping spoon!
I would love to win ANYTHING! Yay, tea!
Those pictures are really pretty. I have never wanted to go to Greece but within the last year, it has been calling me.
I would love those teas for when I move. I won’t have my family anymore as I move out on my own so these teas will do great to provide me with comfort and warmth.
I am trying to make the switch from coffee to tea. Trying all of these different flavors would definitely be incentive to drink more tea and less coffee!
The oatmeal looks delicious! As does the tea, would love to try it! :)
I would love to try that tea! Especially the banana bread one!
P.S. I was in Athens just 2 months ago. It was 39 degrees then too!
Hooray for a tea giveaway…thanks so much for this chance!!
Omg! The pics are fabulous!
Would love to try the tea !!
With the cool crisp air this morning, this tea sounds just right when fall is around the corner. Yumm! That chocolate banana has my name all over it!
I just gave up coffee three weeks ago & I’m now a green tea fanatic! Would love to try this tea out!
Toasted Walnut Green tea and Chocolate Banana Rooibos? Those sound AMAZING.
Ohhh looks lovely and just in time for fall!
I would love to win a new tea selection, just in time for fall! :)
