When we arrived in Athens, we considered taking a convenient taxi to our hotel. However, we thought it would be good practice, in case "The Amazing Race" ever casts us for their show, to find our way using public transportation. We took a bus from the airport to the famous Syntagma Square, which is right in front of Greece's Parliament building. From there, we ventured onto the Metro (subway) system. Our hotel, the Royal Olympic, is located near the Acropolis. So, we just took the subway to the Acropolis metro station. From there, we walked down cobblestone streets to the Temple of Zeus. Our hotel is across the street from the temple, and we made it safely. We spent the evening exploring the temple, and walking through the nearby Plaka Historic District. We had dinner in a Greek taverna, and we tasted the most incredible Greek salad. Tomorrow we are headed to the Acropolis for a full-day of sightseeing.
