Authentic Bites, Boundless Yums
On Tuesday, we had grand plans to conquer the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum, so like any well-prepared tourists, I’d snagged tickets ahead of time. Since we had the entire day to dive into history with all-day access, we opted for a leisurely start. I mean, who wouldn’t take the chance to sleep in a bit? 🤣
As previously mentioned, day two in Athens was all about a day trip. We had booked the tour in advance through Get Your Guide, and let me tell you, it was an all-day affair. Knowing this, we came prepared – breakfast, snacks, drinks, the works. We were supposed to be picked up by our guide at another hotel in the city, but there was a slight hiccup – we were forgotten! 😂 But hey, someone eventually came to the rescue, and after a bit of bus shuffling, we were off, heading southwest towards the Peloponnes 😄🙋🏻♀️
So, we ended up on this totally spontaneous trip to Greece after I flirted with the idea of a solo adventure to Portugal for my summer holidays. The Danish summer was getting to me – rain, rain, and more rain 😅😂 I mean, who wouldn’t want to escape that? I mentioned my escape plans to my friend A, and she did a quick 180 on her own plans and suggested a getaway to Athens. I thought, “Why not?” It’s Athens! A place dripping with history, which, thanks to high school, I find endlessly fascinating.
