Athens


A sunny day and smooth sailing to Piraeus today. Easy transit on the Metro to Monistriaki and a walk to the hotel. Our favourite room overlooks a lovely church. The weather is good. Life is wonderful.

We met Kalliroi for dinner at a unique place in Exarhia where we shared squash soup, two delicious salads, risotto in a parmesan shell, humous and a prosciutto wrapped cheese. Yummhh!!

This area was totally alive with many bars and cafes. After dinner we walked one block to an old bar for a metaxa nightcap. My camera battery died sometime during the day so I wasn't able to capture any of the graffiti or the hidden charm of this neighbourhood.

Many, many thanks to Kalliroi for introducing us to a different area of Athens!!!
