In Athens, first and foremost on our minds was the food.  There are great markets – including nuts, olives, grains, and meat (shown below) that have been great. Two gyros and a block of feta cheese per day also helps.We spent a lot of time at Monastiraki Square.Our first stop for ruins was Hadrian’s Library and the Roman Agora.Then we enjoyed a long walk to the Acropolis.The Acropolis was amazing.Posing in front of the Parthenon.Theatre of Dionysus.Back in the city – ancient buildings and ruins are everywhere.
