From the Calm of Pylos…

Karalis Beach Hotel Pylos

…to chaos in Athens!

Street Scene Athens

Athens is busy, buzzing and crowded!  Wow! We’ve walked around neighborhoods, visited flea markets, strolled in the National Gardens and eaten our weight in souvlaki!

This evening we took a break from Greek food and found a fun pizza place, Granello.  In addition to pizza we had a colorful and tasty salad of cherry tomatoes, burrata cheese, and pesto!

We’re staying in the center of Athens in a hotel cleverly named, Central Hotel.  If we lean out our window, we have a view of the Acropolis.  It’s nice to be close to the Metro and shops.

We’ve been testing these past 3 days and we both continue to test negative for Covid.  Tomorrow will be the real test as we will do the required test to fly on Wednesday.

We are grateful that we’ve been able to safely take a trip like this!  It’s been great fun!
