Athens - Start of our Adventure

Denise and I arrive a day early and we immediately stop at the Plaka before checking into our hotel for some delicious Greek food - Stuffed Tomatoes, Greek Salad with a big chunk of Feta Cheese, Cheese Pie and of course Greek Beer.

Day 1 in Greece - Jackie and Mitchell arrive in Athens from NYC - Yay!  Head to the Hotel.

We headed to the Plaka for lunch - stuffed ourselves. The waiter kept bringing us more food (on the house).  He brought gyro meat and yogurt with honey for desert (delicious).  Also on the house - he brought us a drink called Raki which is an alcoholic unsweetened Anise drink and very potent.  I really think its Rocket fuel - lol - but it was good enough that we ordered 2 more rounds to celebrate our trip.  


​Our Hotel in Manistraki with a view of the Acropolis from the rooftop.
