The following is a bulleted summary of our short trip to Athens. For Athens pictures, click here.
6/3
- 6.5-hour layover at the airport between Santorini and Zurich, so we decided to visit the Acropolis
- 36-hour strike: buses, metro, all public transportation shut down
- Took a taxi almost one hour each way; fairly cheap (40 Euros each way)
- Aggressive driving, bad congestion, shared taxis
- Huge number of tourists almost ruined the experience; could barely take any decent pictures
- Josh was impressed by the size of the buildings -- apparently, he is usually disappointed because pictures make them seem bigger than they really are
