My Trip to Greece - Day One
I took a trip to Greece this past October and it was amazing!
It was with GAdventures, the tour they do in partnership with National Geographic, which was great!
I went by myself, but they organize their tours in small groups of about 15 people. Everyone was really friendly and it was nice to have some people to hang out with during the free time.
Here are some of the things I saw on Day One!
At first I thought this was Plato's Academy. It was down the road from our hotel in Athens, so I wandered over soon after I arrived. It's actually called The Academy of Athens. It was built more recently in 1885 and is more an homage to the classical Greek temples. Still very cool, especially the statues of Plato and Socrates.
We went out for dinner together as a group on the first night and our restaurant had a great view of the Parthenon. Very nicely lit up at night, too.
Nice little teaser for what we had planned for Day Two!
