We are staying in a small suburb about an hour out of Athens. Our tour guide says this is one of the safest cities to be in and I think he is right. There are few people on the streets and tons and tons of shopping (mainly purses and shoes). The street cafes are really fancy and don't resemble our cafes and restaurants at all. Instead they are outdoor patio seating and they all have plus couches to sit on. No uncomfy wooden chairs! After having our welcome drink meeting where we met the 40+ girls and 5 boys in out group we walked down the street a few blocks to get a genuine euro! It was super tasty I asked for mine with everything and they put tsitsiki sauce, cucumbers, tomatoes, french fries and onions on it plus it was only 2.80£. Walking back to our hostel I heard this man playing accordion on the street for spare change. He was actually really good! Half the girls went out to a bar and the rest if us came back to the hostel to hit the hay. We have wake up call at 7 am tomorrow where we will head out to the city of Athens for a bus tour of the city and a walking tour of the coliseum where the original olympics took place!
