On my last few days in Athens I had a chance to go to two great museums. The first was the Museum of Byzantine and Christian Art.
Then on to the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture
The stopping by the Greek Parliament to see the guards and the tomb of the unknown soldier.
And as it happened, on the street in front of Parliament was The Tour of the Hellas – essentially Greece’s version of the Tour de France bike race.
The next day I took a climb up Filopappou Hill for some great views of the city and the Acropolis.
Athens, it was a pleasure getting a front row seat to our shared history as a civilization. Next stop: Albania
