Greece was our honeymoon so it holds a special place in my heart. We had an AirB&B with an amazing view of the Acropolis or "Sacred Rock." I highly recommend taking the hike up from town and spending a day exploring the Parthenon, there is so much history and beauty to take in. The view of the city from above is incredible. 

​

Another hidden gem in Athens is the neighborhood of Anafiotika, the labyrinth of whitewashed buildings on the quiet hillside is a place worth getting lost in. A rooftop lunch and a refreshing drink makes for a perfect day. Views of the city and cool breezes make it easy to relax and live in the moment.

 

The Plaka District is a popular neighborhood where I scored plenty of great gifts like olive oil soap, wool slippers, scarves and jewelry. This charming neighborhood has many restaurants and bars to choose from. Brettos is a great stop for a drink, make sure you try the traditional liquor of Ouzo! Expect to see musicians playing which makes the atmosphere even that much more magical.
