Hello Athens!

This morning we left Istanbul to fly to Athens, Greece!

We were a little sad to leave Istanbul because we REALLY loved the city, but we've both been so excited for our time in Greece.

The airport security was so much easier to get through compared to Israel, and we landing in Athens and took the Metro straight to Syntagma Square and from there walked to our hostel.

Our room is pretty basic, but we left right away to head to the Acropolis.  Problem was it closed early on Sunday (not mentioned anywhere in our book).  But we walked around the area and had a great view and then walked around Plaka.  We ate kebabs and they were so delicious!  We then watched the sunset up by the Acropolis over-looking the city.

Tomorrow morning we leave early to make our way to Santorini! Can't wait!

Here's the picture of us up near the Acropolis, which is in the background!
