We arrive in Greece and we are staying at the Athens Gate hotel as recommended by DC. It's lovely and modern and the view from the rooftop terrace is out to the Acropolis. We have a Nanna nap as we are so stuffed. We call Mum and just catch her before she leaves on her long journey home. Tonight we head to Plaka and walk the streets and find a nice place to eat. In the morning we enjoy the rooftop view over a great breakfast and real cappuccinos. We decide to jump on the hop-on hop-off bus and see the sights. We climb up to see the Pantheon, Acropolis and many other ruins. It's so hot as we make our way around, and the view from the top is amazing. We shop in the afternoon, and also watch the changing of the guards at Parliament, which is amazing to see. Tonight we just eat and head home, as I think we are really keen to get to Santorini. This is my second time to Athens, and I don't think I would come again. It will be interesting to see what happens after the elections as there are demonstrations and police around all the time.
