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.

Being English I absolutely love tea, especially loose leaf!
Beautiful photos as always Angela!
This tea looks amazing! I would love to try at least 5 of the flavors. Got to order some if I do not win!! :)
Chocolate banana tea sounds awesome!!
This is the first time I’ve heard of Feel Good Tea and after seeing how great it looks and hearing the great reviews, if I don’t win the give away, I’ll still be ordering some of the Carnival tea. Yum!
I am such a tea hoarder and I’d love to add those to my stash!!!
Beautiful
Such nice pictures!
Those tea’s sound delish!
Athens was another place I visitied during my teenage years. Growing up, I was obsessed with Greek and Roman mythology and it was amazing to see all the structures that were built as tribute to those gods and goddesses still standing! My favorite part of the trip was the island hopping cruise we did through the Mediterranean – I plan to retire on one of those islands! :-)
Wonderful pics!
*sigh* Would love to go to Greece.
I love your honeymoon photos. Greece is definitely on my list of places I would like to visit during my lifetime, maybe even this year.
Would love to have some of this delicious tea for the fall! thanks!
Mmm!! Looks delightful! I would looveeee to go there!
The tea looks lovely, but can I maybe win a trip to Athen’s instead?
Love your pictures of Greece. I just discovered your blog this afternoon, and I know I want to make those burgers.
