❤️Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist, Donnie was graphic designer, but we both had a dream to travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! We don't know how long we will get to do this, and we do have a goal of getting jobs in the UK eventually, but we are going to live it to the fullest while we can!

Private Tour of Athens (Enjoy Greece Tours) - What to Expect
We decided to save some time and effort and get a private tour of Athens. We had 1 day to hit as many sites as we could. Here is how it went. Here are the top sites in Athens we hit
- Acropolis of Athens
- Temple of Poseidon
- Temple of Olympian Zeus
- Panathenaic Stadium
Free Walking Tour of the Must-Sees in Athens | Athens, Greece
We went on a free walking tour that took us to all the major tourist attractions in Athens, including the Acropolis! This was one of our favourite walking tours because Athens is just such a walkable city, with such a high concentration of archaeological sites interspersed among the hustle and bustle of a modern city. We can't get over how many things we saw in a few short hours: the Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Temple of the Olympian Zeus, Tower of the Winds, and of course the Acropolis itself, with the Parthenon in full glory. Along the way we also sample some Athenian alcohol and even get lost on Philipappos Hill (Hill of Muses) on the way back. Such a great day! We highly recommend this tour for its ability to pack in so many things in such a short amount of time. If you only have one day in Athens, do this!

Best Athens Walking Tour of the Acropolis
While in Athens for a week we decided to do a few tours of the city. While traveling the world we try and do as many tours as possible. After researching tour companies in Athens we decided to go with Athens Walking Tours and are we ever glad we did. The history lesson that was given to us from the tour guides was nothing less than spectacular. They were both fun and interesting, which made the tour so enjoyable. If we were to recommend a tour company that shows the Acropolis and the Athens old town (Plaka & Monastiraki.) Athens walking tours would be it. In our opinion going to the Acropolis without a tour guide would not be worth it. There's so much to learn that you will not know on your own. We came away from this tour feeling smarter lol and like a history boss of the area. Thank you Athens walking tours for an enjoyable day that we will never forget.
Side note, the line to get into the Acropolis is loooonnnggggg, Athens walking tours has the tickets ahead of time so you don't have to wait. That in itself is worth it.

TRIP TO ATHENS - GREECE
Athens (/ˈæθɨnz/;[1] Modern Greek: Αθήνα, Athína, IPA: [aˈθina], Katharevousa: Ἀθῆναι, Athine, Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, Athēnai), is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica periphery and is one of the world's oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum,[2][3] it is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy,[4][5] largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th centuries BC on the rest of the then known European continent.[6] Today a cosmopolitan metropolis, modern Athens is central to economic, financial, industrial, political and cultural life in Greece and it is rated as an Alpha world city.[7] In 2008, Athens was ranked the world's 32nd richest city by purchasing power[8] and the 25th most expensive[9] in a UBS study.
The Greek capital has a population of 655,780[10] (796,442 back in 2004)[11] within its administrative limits[12] and a land area of 39 km2 (15 sq mi).[13] The urban area of Athens (Greater Athens and Greater Piraeus) extends beyond the administrative municipal city limits, with a population of 3,074,160 (in 2011),[14] over an area of 412 km2 (159 sq mi).[13] According to Eurostat, the Athens Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) is the 7th most populous LUZ in the European Union (the 4th most populous capital city of the EU) with a population of 4,013,368 (in 2004).
The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by a number of ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon, widely considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains a vast variety of Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of remaining Ottoman monuments projecting the city's long history across the centuries. Athens is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Landmarks of the modern era, dating back to the establishment of Athens as the capital of the independent Greek state in 1833, include the Hellenic Parliament (19th century) and the Athens Trilogy consisting of the National Library of Greece, the Athens University and the Academy of Athens. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it welcomed home the 2004 Summer Olympics.[15] Athens is home to the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, as well as the new Acropolis Museum.
The city of Athens contains a variety of different architectural styles, ranging from Greco-Roman, Neo-Classical, to modern. They are often to be found in the same areas, as Athens is not marked by a uniformity of architectural style. Many of the most prominent buildings of the city are either Greco-Roman or neo-classical in styling. Some of the neo-classical structures to be found are public buildings erected during the mid-19th century, under the guidance of Theophil Freiherr von Hansen and Ernst Ziller, and include the Athens Academy, Athens City Hall, Greek Parliament, Old Parliament (1875--1932) (Now the National Historical Museum),[50] University of Athens, and Zappeion Hall.
Beginning in the 1930s, the International style and other architectural movements such as Bauhaus and Art Deco began to exert an influence on almost all Greek architects, and many buildings both public and private were constructed in accordance with these styles. Localities with a great number of such buildings include Kolonaki, and some areas of the centre of the city; neighbourhoods developed in this period include Kypseli.
In the 1950s and 1960s during the vast extension and development of Athens, modern architecture played a very important role. The centre of Athens was largely rebuilt, leading to the demolition of a number of neoclassical buildings. The architects of this era employed materials such as glass, marble and aluminium, while some blended modern and classical elements. After World War II, internationally known architects to have designed and built in the city included Walter Gropius, with his design for the US Embassy, and, amongst others, Eero Saarinen, in his postwar design for the east terminal of the Ellinikon Airport.
Notable Greek architects of the 1930s--1960s included Konstantinos Doxiadis, Dimitris Pikionis, Pericles A. Sakellarios, Aris Konstantinidis and others.
Photos and video were taken with a Nikon COOLPIX P100, not the newer Nikon COOLPIX P500. But performance and features should be almost identical.

Athens Heritage Walks Video Disclaimer
These videos are unedited recordings of a series of guided walking tours, called Athens Heritage Walks, sponsored by the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation. The first of these tours were developed in 2009; additional tours have been added over the years. The tour process begins when a well-known local figure is invited to develop a guided tour of a historic neighborhood or area. The Foundation does not provide a script but rather asks the guide to develop his/her own script based on his/her knowledge and expertise. The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation does not guarantee the accuracy of these accounts nor necessarily support opinions expressed by the guides. ACHF provides research assistance when asked and handles all tour logistics. One of the goals of the tours is to capture the personal memories of the guides and so the tours tend to be a mixture of facts, conjecture and anecdotal accounts, the degree of which varies from guide to guide. We hope you enjoy them.

Best Loukoumades in Athens - Greek Food Tour | Athens, Greece
We took a four-hour Greek food tour, walking around Athens and sampling the very best loukoumades (Greek doughnuts) in the city as well as the best pork chops we've EVER tasted. We always love food tours, but this time everything just lined up perfectly: we were with our Australian friends Minos and Suzy, so we could spring for a private tour group, we had the best food, and our guide Tiama was a fantastic storyteller and foodie... and she even had a surprise in store for me!
The food tour we booked was called Athens for Foodies: More than Just a Greek Food Tour and we can't recommend it highly enough!:
Definitely a must-do when in Athens - if we're ever there again, we'll definitely try their Athens by Night food tour!

Tour guides protest in Athens, Greece
A unique protest took place in Greece today, led by tour guides. The tour guides drove up and down streets on a bus created for tourists, showing their opposition to the governments efforts to allow private companies to work in the sector.
