Athens

It rained a bit last night. Wet streets. I ran running 9km. From the apartment to Octovriou street, at Omonia square I took Venizelou to Syntagma, through the National Gardens and then behind the Akropolis to Monastiraki. From there back to the apartment.

After a siesta, walked in Aeros park.

 Yesterday visit of Lykabettou. With the metro to Evangelismos and walking to the Gondola. 
A bit expensive, 13 euro for a round trip to the top of the mountain.

It was warm today, about 19 degrees Celsius....

 I went running this morning. From the apartment on Mamouri to Aeros park. 3 rounds in the park and then running home. Total distance was 6.5km.

Later in the morning went to a Farmers Market: oranges, tomatoes, olive oil, onions and lemons. 

After a siesta, with the metro to the Akropolis stop and walked behind the Akropolis

(with lots of Athinians, because it was warm, at least 20 Degrees Celsius. 

From Monastiriaki, the Mitreopolis Street towards Syntagma Square

Athens

Took the metro to Syntagma Square, from there I walked to Anafiotika street in the Plaka (underneath the Akropolis), where I lived when I was 20.

From Anafiotika I walked down hill to Monastiraki and further on to Omonia Square, where I took the metro back back to the apartment.

Got up this morning with rain. Change of plan no Lykabettus or Plaka this morning, but shopping for kitchen stuff.

By the time I left the house, it got dry and pretty warm.

Stopped at the Agora market for minced meat (made while you wait for it), 

across from the Agora market are vegetable stands. I got olives, tomatos, paprika

Walked back to Omonia Square and took the red subway line to Larissa station. Walked back home. It started raining again.

After a siesta went for a walk to and in Aeros Park.

Athens

 Today the subway from Victoria Square to Piraeus, the port of Athens. Big ferry boats to the Isles.

Back to Monastiraki: shopping dinner. Eating at the apartment.....

Athens

The plan this morning was to go to Kerameikos,  the ancient cemetery of Athens and also go to the Farmers Market both on the same street.
However, Kerameikos was closed because of renovations of the visitor buidling and there was no Famers Market.

So, what do to at 0.9.30am? Go visit the Akropolis.

Herodotus Atticus Theatre

Afterwards shopping on Athinai street, 

and a siesta back at the apartment. (Still jet lag, after 15 hours of flying)
