The six of us flew down to Athens with Aegean Airlines and got a maxi-cab to the Fresh Hotel in the centre of town.

Our first priority after we unpacked was to have a taste of some Greek cuisine for dinner. So down the road we went this little restaurant.
We ordered a Taster Plate and this came out. Wowser !!
Back at our hotel, we could see the Acropolis from the restaurant and bar on the top floor so we decided to explore it tomorrow. Athens also has a very good Hop On/Hop Off bus system which would get us there.
It's fascinating walking around something so well built, that is so old.
Here it is, illuminated at night, taken from the roof of our hotel.
And tonight, late, sleeping peacefully we were woken up by an earthquake !! The hotel shook quite a bit.
I have come to the conclusion that we are disaster magnets...
Today, more Hop On/Hop Off bus. We went to a marina for lunch
Some pretty expensive boats out there.
On our last full day in Athens we took a fast ferry to one of the islands.
We hired two quad bikes and took Robyn & Peta to Perdika for lunch. We raced back to pick Val & Madeleine and brought them back to the restaurant too.
Lunch was very pleasant. A whopping great big bbq'd fish. Madeleine and Val took a cab back to the ferry terminal and we four followed on our quads.
