Day 1 in Athens

What an amazing city is Athens! After arriving at Hotel Adrian (why would we stay anywhere else?) we set out to explore our area and wander the many narrow streets and alleys.

The taxi ride from Syntagma Square to our hotel was barely 6 minutes, but it was obvious that motor bikes and scooters pay no heed to one way streets!

 

We stopped to catch our breath and enjoy a very passable glass of red at happy hour in Agora Square at 3 euro per glass, just a stone's throw from where we're staying and then continued to explore.  Cats are everywhere, ignoring the many tourists.





Dinner out tonight was at Klepsidra Cafe, with the Acropolis looming above. I had earmarked this place back at home, but we found it tonight by sheer luck. Food and wine was tasty and relatively cheap.
