Part 2/9:
Upon arriving in Athens, the hustle and bustle of the city immediately captures our attention. We navigate through the chaos of yellow taxis and tight parking spaces while balancing our heavy suitcases. After a bit of effort, we manage to find a small hidden car park. For a daily rate of 15 euros, it is conveniently located just a short walk from our affordable Airbnb in the lively Psirri district.
First Impressions of Athens
The first thing that strikes us after checking in is the monumental Parthenon—an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Athena—looming over the city. Its majestic structure beckons us to explore further. Despite feeling a bit overwhelmed by the city’s intensity and the burden of our luggage, the atmosphere is undeniably exhilarating.
