Day 12- Athens

We woke up pretty early for our tour, which was supposed to leave at 9:15, but apparently our guide was operating on what's known as GMT (that stands for Greek Maybe Time here in Athens, not Greenwich Mean Time like it does everywhere else), so we didn't actually leave until about 10:15. Once it got going the tour was really worthwhile; it covered both the Roman and the Greek Agoras, the Acropolis, Hadrien's Arch and Hadrien's Library, the Temple of Zeus as well as the more modern sites, the Olympic stadium, the president's house and the Parliament. Essentially, we were able to hit every major site in Athens except for the archaeological museum in a span of about 6 hours.

After the tour we went to a Travel agent to book ferry tickets for the rest of the week. I an now tell you that we'll be heading to Santorini early tomorrow for two nights, then we'll go to Paros and Mykonos for another two nights each. After Mykonos we'll come back to Athens to catch a flight to our next destination. Right now it looks that will be somewhere in Germany, most likely Berlin or Munich.
