Athens - Day 4

Leisurely start to the day .

Found Keramikos ( the ancient cemeteries ) , we had been so close to it the other day. Climbed the hill of Filopappos ( have become a -see a hill, climb it - kind of person). Visited the Olympic stadium, roamed the Syntagma square. Relaxed pace today.

Sat at Monastiraki square after walking through the flea market. Bought a kilo of gorgeous strawberries and "braad" ( pretzel looking bread covered in sesame seeds, sold on the streets). While we were enjoying these in the sun a group of 4 boys, street dancers, put up a performance, unexpected and enjoyable , everything a holiday should have.

Felt like a true backpacker as we used the metro to the port with the backpacks on us.Had to change quite a few lines, managed well.

I am on the ferry to Santorini ( which was 2 hours late, works out well for us arriving there) and can see the lights of Athens fading away. It has been a lovely few days.
