Ancient Athens




Today we are in the capital of Greece which is named after the Greek godness Athena. We traveled by bus to the most iconic historical site in Athens, the Acropolis where the Parthenon is located.



It was built in honor of Athena and dates back to her golden age. It is located at the top a a massive hill where you can see a panoramic view of the city.



Next we walked to the Planka which is the oldest section of Athens. From there we got to see the remains of the temple of Zeus, which has almost been completely destroyed.



While there we also got a chance to shop around before heading back to the ship.
After dinner we enjoyed an amazing view of the sunset over the Greek mountains while eating tiaramisou!



The depth of hue of the water was like the depth of hue of a good red wine~ Iliad, Homer.
