I made it to Athens a few days ago for the first time, arriving after the long, dangerous bus ride full of excitement from Albania. We explored Athens, finding lots of ruins, old buildings, history and heat. Ridiculously hot. We got into the Acropolis for free because we are students in teh EU. Quite nice saving 12 euros there and later on as well. We couch surfed saving us money and meeting some great people. Our host was awesome and showed us to the best gyro shop in town. Served wtih french fries and tatziki in it, it was definitely the best.
After Athens for one hot day seeing a lot of ruins and going to an outdoor concert with a bunch of couch surfers, we headed off to the islands. First stop Naxos. This amazing island would be our home for the next few days, staying at an apartment I found. Really cheap, clean and close to the beach. The city itself is awesome, with tons of cafes along the beach and with a castle upon on a hill above the shops and homes. Out on a strip of land nearby is a gateway to the temple of Apollo.
More to come later.
