Athens

The downside to traveling to the lesser traveled islands is they are tougher to get to. We had to pass back through Athens to get to Lesvos. This time we spent two days walking the Acropolis and shopping.

There were 8 cruise ships in the harbor and 80,000 people coming in for the football championship. We got to tour and shop with many of them. But Athens can handle a lot of people so it wasn’t too bad.

The photos show a tourist train that winds around the old town, providing access to all of the souvenir shops and souvlaki restaurants.

We don’t know if there’s symbology in the graffiti or if it’s just fun to look at.
Two quick days, a new camera, some fun puppets and we’re on the overnight ferry to Lesvos.
