Athens 2019 – Day Five – A Lazy Sunday Morning Stroll

We had a few hours before the taxi was due to collect us from the hotel and as the weather was still good decided to go for a stroll. We went straight to the sister hotel of the one we are staying in as it has a rooftop terrace with view across the city to the Acropolis.… Read the rest

Athens 2019 – Day Four – In the Footsteps of Olympians

After our aborted attempt yesterday today we made it to the Ancient Agora. Strangely there isn’t actually as much there as at first appears. Looking down on the Agora from the Acropolis it seems to cover a vast area and offers glimpses of hidden sights.… Read the rest

Athens 2019 – Day One – No Bombs

This is my second time in Athens. Last time was as one of the stopping off points on a cruise in 2013. It was supposed to be with Helen but as she was ill I went alone.

The time before that was when I was still at university in 1985.… Read the rest
