Athens

After a day at sea relaxing and reading, we arrived in Piraeus (the port for Athens).

In Athens we went on a tour of the city. Our first stop was the Acropolis. There we visited the Parthenon and had beautiful views of Athens. As we left the Acropolis, we stopped at a limestone rock called Areoplagos where St. Paul preached to the Athenians.

We then took a tour of the city and one of the sites we stopped at was the Olympic Stadium.



Finally, we spent a little time walking through the Plaka neighborhood, visited the New Acropolis Museum, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus.

All in all, it was a great day in Athens!
