Day 122 – Athens
I spent the day exploring one of the ancient capitals of civilization. The Acropolis, ancient agora, Tower of the winds, fascinating little city. I am told, things dramatically changed for the better with the arrival of the Olympics. The streets were made pedestrian and the commuter service spruced up, I found it a chamring city. This week is the European Chamionship League Final between AC Milan and Liverpool so football fans were milling about. Would be a good match but I had not intention of staying in the city for the week.
Thus, I figured out the metro system – got to Pireaus Port and boarded a 9 hour ferry to Chania, Crete. Not the most comfortable night sleeping on the floor of a ferry with Greek television and strange english movies blaring but it could have been worse.
