ATHENS

We spent only one night in Athens at the start of our vacation.  We arrived at the Hotel Electra at about 2:30 in  the afternoon after virtually no sleep on the flights.  We soon discovered that our three hour walking tour of the city was to begin in 15 minutes.  All we could think about was taking a nap, however, once we started walking we all perked right up.  There are no riots or demonstrations or people lined  up outside the banks to withdraw all their money.   The tour culminated at the Acropolis and the Parthenon.  What amazing architecture.  We took some great photos of the lights on the Acropolis from the hotel that evening.  Found a great little restaurant on the way back to the hotel for our first Greek meal which we shared with four others in our group.
