The historical attractions of Athens are world-renowned. The Acropolis, overlooking the city of Athens from the top of a rocky hillside is the dominant monument of ancient Greece, the first temple dedicated to the goddess Athena and the incredible Parthenon. We hopped on a bus that took us around the entire city. With the rain and our hot orange poncho's we had a blast truckin' the city! The monuments were magnificent!!! Along with the monuments, Athens has many markets, cafe's and shops lining the streets with the famous-- BAKLAVA! Mmmmm Mmmmm!
Rain, Rain, Go away come again another day!
