Towards the end of April 2014, we took a couple days off work and popped over to Athens, Greece for an extended weekend. We found a nice little hostel to stay in that was about a 3 mile walk from the acropolis called Hotel Zorbas. We were only there about 2.5 days, but got to see so many incredible things. We ate way too many delicious pastries and gyros from all the local shops, were awe struck by all the architecture over 2000 years old, and so very much enjoyed our time there. What a beautiful county with such rich history.
