After an incredible stay in Istanbul, Samantha and I headed west a bit to Athens.  We figured this would make a great stop before meeting my Dad and Cindy in Croatia at the end of the month,  and we were right.  I had never been to Greece before, while Sam had but only for one rainy day back in college so it really felt like we were both exploring it for our first time.  Athens is a really beautiful city so full of history and culture, which made for days full of museums and walking tours through the ancient city.

We stayed in a great little apartment right below the Acropolis...
