Athens IS history! Get up early, map out your walking plan, and go! We hit all of our destinations in one day with time to spare. Athens is full of history and adventure for anyone. I'm not the biggest history buff, but I remained interested at each cite. This included: Theatre of Dionysus, Parthenon, Library of Hadrian, and so many more. There is a cool city, just below the Acropolis, called Plaka which is connected to the Monastiraki Market. BEST FLEA MARKET EVER. It's a widespread supermarket that literally has some of everything. We racked up on gifts, bags, food, custom gear, natural beauty products, and more. Plus, it all was so cheap!
Santorini was a dream trip! The only downside is that, unless you're only going for relaxation/beaches, you may get bored. We did the Santorini Panorama tour for a full day which only cost us about $50, which is a great deal! It included 3 opposing beaches, village tours, an excavation site, viewing the sunset, and a winery tour. We adventured off to random areas to try different restaurants and searched for the best IG spots for the "blue domes." my favorite restaurants were probably Skiza's pizza (in Oia) and Pelican Kipos (in Fira). Both were relatively inexpensive. The small town of Oia is the infamous spot of pictures, food, and shopping. Definitely worth it! We spent a total of 3 days there and that was the perfect amount of time!
Overall, I had a great trip! In some instances, it was very annoying to keep getting stares from everyone because we were the only black people in every room! However, we owned it and created lasting. memories. Rome is full of history and adventure! Go!
