Tastebuds in Athens

We sort of got lost trying to find our way to the Acropolis. But we bumped into this amazing place where they sell traditional Greek “family” dishes for like €3 euros each. It’s like Greek yum-cha (dim sum).

Sorry, can’t remember their names. I can tell you that all of them taste very good. They have very distinct flavours which are new to me, can’t describe it.

Athens – City of Antiquity (Pilgrimage)

The city dates back to the Neolithic (almost stone age) times, that’s how old it is. But I find despite their super rich history of excellence in architecture and culture, where have the Greeks’ drive for perfection gone?

parthenon

The Parthenon.

acropolis

The Acropolis. They are literally replacing the original with marble replicas, so come here before it’s fully replaced.

agora

agora2

Ancient Agora. Not much, except for one reconstructed building, how much fun can looking at ancient strip footings be?

hephais

The Hephaitos temple. Have a funny impression of that guy after watching Alexander the movie, but amazing Greek temple nevertheless.
