"I didn't expect mountains, or Ikea." My first thoughts as I pulled into the Athens airport.
My dad was awaiting my arrival at the baggage claim. It is so good to have him back.
Athens is packed full of history. The Parthenon & Acropolis stand high above the city - it is unbelievable that they've been around for thousands of years. We saw all Athens had to offer before getting on a ferry & heading to Poros.
Poros is one of the closest greek islands to the main land, and is packed with locals. It is serene and lively all at once. We rented a car and spent a day exploring Mycenae, the oldest ruins i have ever seen! We spent a day on the beach & I went parasailing and loved the feeling of floating above the world - completely out of reach.
In Greece the food is good and cheap, the people are friendly and trusting, and I realize how much of a shame it is that we have come to second guess people so much; wherever we go we are cautious of people, but for the most part people are good.
Greece was unbelievable. It was even better that I got to share it all with my father. I couldn't ask for a better end to the best months of my life.
