Ed’s place

Continuation to my last trip during September, Athens is our next trip. Not a very long duration spent in Athens, but we managed to squeeze our time there visiting the highlights of the city.
Once we landed at the Athens airport from Santorini, we took a Metro straight to the heart of the city where our Hotel is. We disembarked at Monastiraki Station and walked out to street and found the Acropolis standing right in front of our eyes. We are so amazed that we stood for a minute looking at it. My heart felt touched and exited able to see the historic monuments that was read in text books when I’m young.
Lets share some pics taken with everyone:
