Here are some of the pieces of history we found while walking the streets of Athens. It was later in the year so not too many tourists were around so we could take our time and enjoy what Athens had to offer. There were a couple of demonstrations while we were there, but we just made sure that we weren’t walking in the area on that day. Also, make sure you research your hotel and its location. Ours was clean, but the location was not somewhere that we felt comfortable walking at night. There is so much history here that a few days will only scratch the surface. We had Rick Steve’s travel book which was extremely helpful getting around, and he does a great job pointing out must-see sites.
