Day 2 – on our way to Paros
We were booked on a 5pm ferry to Paros today and had made tentative plans to visit Athens some more.
After sleeping in and catching up on our jet lag / lack of sleep the previous night, we had breakfast on the rooftop again. The selection was awesome and of course the view of the Acropolis!
We walked through the national gardens across the street. Quite pretty, coming across more ancient ruins. The humidity and heat however is almost unbearable and I must say the city of Athens is not the prettiest city I have seen.
After a while, we decided to return to the hotel and take advantage of the nice pool area to relax / nap / read our books. I am reading “All the light we can not see” right now. Absolutely awesome so far. Thanks Nancy 🙂
Made it on this gigantic ferry. Couldn’t believe how many people came out of that ship!
We had purchased business class tickets to try it and although the comfy chairs were great and the service very good, the show was in the back of the boat on the open deck. The side windows of the business lounge did convey the beautiful scenery. With the refreshing breeze coming through and the sun setting on the Aegean Sea, not sure the economy tickets were not the best deals in town!
We arrived at Paros after dark so we can not see the sea but the short ride to our hotel revealed awesome restaurant terrace on the beach with straw roofs and beautiful lighting. Can’t wait to eat there tomorrow. I think it will be all about food here!!! Our hotel is also gorgeous in the dark so can’t wait to see the view tomorrow. Perched on a cliff overlooking the sea.
Had an exquisite dinner opening with eggplant rolls and sea pies… Yum !!!
Having a grand marnier on our very large balcony. Pretty heavenly!!!
