TAPSExp: Greece: Athens and Nafplion

We also visited Greece! Greece was top on my list of countries to visit and I was so excited when I found a cheap flight. I went with Cayle, Cody and our friend that we met here in Munich from Canada. We landed in Athens and stayed there one night. The first day in Athens there was apparently a strike so the subway was closed and the entrance to the ruins were closed too. So we walked around the city and saw the Temple of Zues the first say and had Gyros for lunch. We also climbed to the highest hill in Athens called Lycabettus Hill and you could see nearly the entire city. From there, we went and saw the stadium where the first world Olympics was held in Panathinaiko Stadium. For dinner that night I also had a Greek salad.

The next day when everything was actually open, we did alot of of walking and alot of steps that day. We climbed to the Parthenon and the Acropolis. We also climbed another large hill to see the Filopappos Monument.

For dinner that night we had a Greek dish called, "Moussaka." Its is like a lasagne a little bit because it is layered, but it has a thick layer of ground beef topped with a thick layer of baked cheese. It had an interesting taste, but I liked it.

That evening we left for Napflio, the old capital of Greece on the coast. We spent the night in Nafplion and the went sightseeing and to the beach the next day. We went to the medieval fortress and then we headed for the beach!
