To cap off our Summer in Italy and since the whole country shuts down while everyone goes on vacation for the month of August, Nisha and I decided to go to Greece for 10 days! I’ve always been fascinated by mythology and Greek History, and this trip was a perfect complement to my time in Italy.
After a last day at work, we headed to the Venice Airport and were on our way in the wrong direction for an overnight layover in Zurich. I was very impressed at how easy it was to get from the airport into the city, only a short rail trip, and was once again impressed how nice everyone was when we asked a women for directions. We then took a tram to the hostel, which of course was really nice. I hope to return to Switzerland for a real trip sometime as I heard all the hostels and sights are nice.
The next morning we headed back to the airport, and were off to Athens! We took the rail into the city, which was quite far away, picked up our boat tickets for our island hopping part of our trip, dropped off our bags, and were off to explore! We grabbed our first greek meal in Plaka, the overly touristy area, and walked around that area a bit before heading back to our hostel.
