It was my second time to Athen’s and it didn’t disappoint. The scenery was beautiful the history was amazing. This was slightly tempered with the continuous pick pocket attacks and the poverty.
The boat we rented was a couple of hours from Athens but we wanted to see some of Athens too, so we spent a few days there first. Our hotel was relatively well located, with an awesome bakery half a block away and an excellent pizza and Greek food place a block away at the Hotel Rio. We walked from our place to the Parthenon which took us through a sketchy neighborhood but it was day time and we went through at a good pace. The Parthenon didn’t disappoint and we had a great few days before setting sail. Little did we know we would be back.
