Have you ever wanted to see the Acropolis? Try authentic Greek food. Watch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Do you want to see Greece after the summer crowds have left? Then come with me and let's see all that we can! Athens is still dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks, including the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel topped with ancient buildings like the colonnaded Parthenon temple. The Acropolis Museum, along with the National Archaeological Museum, preserves sculptures, vases, jewelry, and more from Ancient Greece. My name is Louise, and I am a 58-year young grandma who wants to see as much of the world as I can while I still can! I have longed to visit Greece for years and I finally have the opportunity to go. We will stay in an apartment in Athens and see as much as we can in our ten days, as well as have day trips to neighboring cities with lots of history to see and food to try. We will see the Acropolis in Athens, go on walking tours, and enjoy tzatziki, gyros, moussaka, and of course baklava! We will head to Aegina for a day and visit a couple of temples and perhaps visit an ancient olive garden while there. We will have dinner on the beach before heading back to Athens.
