After a very short glimpse of Turkey {we had a 6 hour layover in which time we got a free tourist visa, managed to negotiate the mind boggling Turkish Metro, and make our way down to the Bosporus for breakfast and coffee *
click here*) we landed in Athens for the next leg of Honeymoon. We only had one night in Athens, and made the most of it exploring the streets below the famous Parthenon {which just so happened to be closed for a strike, can you believe it!} But we still managed to get a few piccies around the base...
Here are some shots of part 2 of our honeymoon {the best is still to come though!}, enjoy!

Our first ride on the Metro rail in Athens...why doesn't Durban have such a cool underground transport system?! |
|
The Parthenon! |
|
We were hoping to catch a sneak peek of Zeus peering round the corner... |
|
The old and the new... |
|
Loved the look of these shutters |
|
Our first truly greek meal...yum! |

Very cool antique shop we found at the end of a side street...pity we didn't have 300 euro's lying around to make a purchase ;) |
