Athens was one of those stops with absolute "must see" sites so we were up and off the ship early this morning. I arranged for a private driver for the day so we could get to all the places we wanted to and be able to do it at our speed rather than that of an organized tour group with 50 other tourisits. It was well worth it to not be hearded around like cattle. We spent the morning at the Acropolis and the temple of Zeus, then the afternoon at some of the other ruins around the city as well as THE Olympic stadium and finally the Acropolis museum, which was amazing, but unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside of :(
