Day 14 - Arriving in Athens, Greece

Docked in Athens this morning. Had breakfast on the back terrace while we waited for them to call our group to disembark. Got a taxi to our hotel, checked in, had some lunch while we waited for our room.  Then we jumped on the “hop-on/hop-off” (aka HOHO) bus for an initial tour through Athens.  Sadly, there was graffiti everywhere downtown...   Back to the hotel, we were planning to dine nearby or at the hotel.   More serious sight-seeing planned for tomorrow!


Arriving in the port of Piraeus, the largest port in Athens.

View from the rooftop restaurant at our hotel, the Hotel Grande Bretagne.

Parthenon can be seen in the distance, going there tomorrow.


Fountain in the hotel lobby... ... the hotel pool and...

... a table in the hotel foyer.  We think this would look good in our condo!  This is the National Library of Greece

Panathinaiko Stadium, the original 1896 Olympic Stadium.  Wow!

Kotzia Square fountain
