Athens, Greece (17th May 2012)

Strangely, not many choose Greece as their holiday destination (most people I know chose to go Italy and France). We were glad that we decided to fly to Athens from Santorini via Aegean Airline. It was very peaceful throughout out stay in Athens.

Here are some snapshots we took of Athens..

It was raining in Plaka by the time we arrived (around 3.30pm)

Shops at the Plaka district

Cafes

Can you spot the Acropolis?

The ruins, somehow look kinda pretty

Was introduced to this shop by Korina while we were shopping for souvenirs at her shop. Did I mention, the guy behind us won the International Barista Competition 2 years ago?

Loved the colour combination of green and purple

I find this website very useful for my Greek trip planning. Check it out here
