This is the first thing that came to mind when thinking of Athens.
And this is, of course, The Reality.
The Capital, largest city and most densely packed in all of Greece. An individual city which contains a population of over 4 million people in its 1,131 square miles. Roughly 3500 people per square mile. And that doesn't include the tourists.
Suddenly Virtual Travel seems like an outstanding idea.
With highs usually in the 90's and lows rarely below the mid-40's. I am content to explore the ruins of The Old City and the Amphitheatre "in the box" with, perhaps, ripe black grapes, or olives and a bit of cheese and wine! Five words.
Air-Conditioning and No Crowds.
So, soon, we with check out Acropolis
and the Amphitheatre...and, later in the week, some more Greek Recipes
before leaving for our final Greek Island on this virtual trek.
Santorini
More anon!
