We went for a short holiday to Athens. It was a nice 5 days, a lot of a history, good food and rest.
We travel with kids, but still visited a lot of nice historical places. After the third day Ada Melis said: "This trip is not for children, it is for adults. No fun for us".
She prefer to stay in the hotel and play XBOX or play in kids corner.
In the end I think they were happy too:)
We visited:
and Acropolis Museum
I am sure you know the story: People of Attica (who lived here) preferred Goddess Athena to the God Poseidon, because they liked her gift, the olive tree, better than his, the seawater. Who wouldn't?
So, they named their city after her: "Athina" in Greek.
Erechtheion - a temple dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon.
