To be - to do - do be do be do with Athens

It is a dream came true for me to visit Athens
One of the roots of civilization
A place of wisdom
Dream world for people hunger of knowledge
eager to debate

Our hotel room has a balcony view of Acropolis
It is the first thing I see early in the morning
a good view to start one's day
and a beautiful view to end your night
with Mythos beer...

There are orange trees all over the city
But trust me you do not want to try them

To be
at the museum
It means strictly NO funny poses
Getting to know more about Greece
through arts...
Too bad some pieces are half original and half artificial
Why?
Well, either the heads are somewhere in America/England
or the bodies are located in Berlin /France/Italy...

Oh my
For sure, I don't want to be in their position

To be
at Temple of Poseidon at Sounion
Take the orange regiional bus instead of joining some tourist agency
I considered it a MUST go place
The sunset view is AWESOME
Although it takes a lot of time to go and come back
But I tell you, it is all worth it

To do
Short term cruise along nearby islands of Saronic Gulf
Poros-Hydra-Aegina
witnessed Greek tranditional dance in the cruise
Less than an hour allot to
stroll and explore the islands
They are beautiful
but staying more than a day will then be too much

Do be do be do
Acropolis overview the city of Athens
The city is not as small as we thought so
Each and every day
We keep discovering interesting streets and corners
We luckily catch the changing of guards in front of the parliament building
It is done every Sunday 11am sharp

Do be do be do
Free entrance to every attraction on Sunday during winter season
Good offer to EU students with almost free tickets
