Day 18 & 19: Athens

Previous: Rome   Next: Paris

The Airbnb in Athens was our favorite. This is only PART of the food in our welcome gift from our hosts. The Airbnb was gorgeous and full of character. We just loved it.

We were the first in line to get into the Acropolis.

Guys with pom-poms on their shoes and tassels on their legs. I’m assuming it’s some elite guard that raised the flag.

You can see the Temple of Zeus behind me.

Later, we did a food tour. This was some pan-fried cheese.

These are the amazing doughnuts that we had for dessert.
