Athens Greece is a place I've wanted to visit for a long time now. Not just because I wanted to do the marathon, but because it's Greece. There's so much history to such an ancient history. Ideally I would love to spend a full two weeks just touring Greece and the Islands. That just wasn't possible, so I had to edit. Hence three days in Athens. There just wasn't time to see outside the city, but that's ok. I plan to go back at some point.
Obviously one of the main sites to see is the Acropolis. Sitting high on the mountain and overlooking the city, it's quite the monument. I went in November, and because I was going to the Athens Marathon it was still very crowded with tourists and people. While I can't imagine this place every being not busy, at least it wasn't the height of summer. That would just be miserable.
It was a bit of a hike to get up to it, but definitely worth it. And once you get to the top it really is a spectacular view of the entire city. The Greeks knew what they were doing when the built it where they did.
We took our time wandering through it and taking about 1000 pictures of the view. Can you blame me though?

We then wandered through flee markets, the famous Arch, the food markets, parks, and so on. The weather was beautiful, and the whole city was fun to see. I'll continue to let the pictures just speak for themselves.
