Athens - Tuesday 23 October 2018

Last breakfast in Mykonos and then quick transfer to the airport. Short flight to Athens (30 minutes) and then 30 minute taxi. Set fare EUR38.

Checked in to Acropolis Select Hotel which Jacqui had stayed at earlier in the year. Great location.

Then went for a walk. This is Hadrian's Gate, close by the hotel...


Went and checked out the Acropolis Museum (EUR5) which was very impressive. Then back to hotel and got changed and had a drink at the rooftop bar in the hotel. This is the view...


Still in the bar as night falls...


Then walked to dinner. First impressions are that Athens is a rundown Rome, without the wow factor. But I'm enjoying the energy of a big city.
