Athens, Greece. We spent three nights in Athens, Greece. We loved Athens. Contrary to what people usually say about Athens, we found it to be clean, easy to navigate, and friendly. Our hotel, Airotel Parthenon, was minutes walk from the Parthenon and on the Plaka (the old town, tourist district). I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Athens to stay at a hotel in the Plaka. Here is a scene from the Plaka.

Here is a dog eating off of a ceramic dish in the middle of the Plaka.

Here are me and Ethan in front of the Parthenon.

Here is a close up view of the Parthenon.

Here are William and Ethan in the back of the Parthenon.

Here is a view of the Acropolis.

This is the Odeon theater on the Acropolis.

Here is the Erechtheion on the Acropolis.

Here are the Caryatids (the female statues) supporting the Erechtheion.
