exploring athens

today i managed to see all of the main tourist attractions in athens. definitely worth a day here, but that's enough! 

got up first thing to beat the crowds at the acropolis. along with two of my roommates, annie & sarah, i marveled at the vastness of the ancient site. was a bit of a shame that there was construction going on, but was pretty breathtaking regardless. plus as a bonus, being a student meant i got in half price! 

on our way to our next tourist attraction we grabbed greek yoghurt for breakfast. i got granola, kiwi and blackberries - sooo yum! we went to hadrian's arch, had a quick look at the ruins of the temple of zeus, before making our way to the athens flea market. 

we wandered through the ancient agora and acropolis museum before having a nice lazy lunch. i got a whole fresh grilled calamari, amazing!!

contemplating going to the archaeological museum now, but feeling quite content to laze though after such a packed morning!
