It is a massive public holiday in Athens today, sort of like Independance day in America. This means all of the ancient sites are free to visit, which is great timing for us! You can see the acropolis hills from our hotel room so after breakfast we head in that direction, stopping at a few other ancient greek ruins along the way. I think it would've been good to go on a walking tour of Athens as you don't really get that much information just from the boards along the way. The walking tour we have used in a few of the other countries, don't operate in Athens which is pretty crappy! We found a flea market on the way back from the Acropolis hills to have a look around and we had a yiros for 1 euro 80 for lunch! What a bargain!
We spent the night at the rooftop bar on top of our hostel chatting with the bar guy from Lithuania, looking over the acroplois all lit up at night! We also met an Italian guy who suggested a day trip for us to do tommorow to Cape Souniuon.
