 Early in the morning I went to Piraeus for a run. 
Afterwards took the metro to Ag Antonios where I got out.
The weekly Farmers Market.
I got a bottle of olive oil and apples from Kreta.

Athens

Spring is here! Trees blooming behind the Akropolis.
About 24 degrees Celsius, last night it was about 16 degrees. So spring here in Athens, would b a very nice summer day in Holland or Germany...
I walked behind the Akropolis this morning, around 09.30. 
Busier than ever before, lots of groups (must be from cruise boats) with a local guide.
