Down Time In Athens

I am sitting on my balcony with a few spare hours, which means the next 2 days will be filled with events for the new Acropolis Museum opening, press first. Tonight is the formal dinner with the Minister of Tourism and just us.

Lunch in the Platka (old city) was a taste bud delight with feta, olive oil, cukes and grilled shrimp. After we all headed out on our own and I chose to explore the Platka. The way of life here is slow paced and relaxed. Cafes filled with people and strollers galore.

I am revealing in the changing colors of the Acropolis as I sit and write, every few minutes the whole city changes below. The rare few hours of alone time are well used.
