This was our second day in Athens and we had a nice rest the night before. Breakfast was OK at our first hotel in Athens. We sat in the dining room and looked out of the windows and were able to see the streets and neighborhood much better than last night.
Located in the downtown area, our hotel is an excellent location and close to a lot of famous historic buildings and sites.
After a satisfying breakfast we were ready to explore this world famous city!
Known as the birthplace of democracy, the marathon and the Olympic Games, Athens was the first city to be crowned European Capital of Culture and is Europe’s oldest capital city. The population of Greece is around 10.4 millions (2026) and the greater Athens area is home to 3.15 million people!
However, the country has experienced a serious brain drain for the past decade with many young people emmigrating to other countries.
We have read and heard that Athens has something to offer to everyone, from fascinating history to outdoor adventure, good food, live music and a buzzing nightlife. We are ready for adventure in this classical yet modern metropolis.
We have planned to explore Athens on foot on our first full day of our holiday in Athens and learned more about this great city!
