We had a four day weekend (Egyptian Armed Forces Day) so a couple of my friends and I went to Athens! It is about an hour flight from Alexandria, and cost a little over $300 for the ticket. Greece has been on my bucket list, and while I know that 4 days is not nearly enough time to see everything I want to see, it was enough to get a taste of Athens. We arrived on Friday and spent 3 hours on a guided bike tour around the city. I'm enjoying my time in Alexandria, but I have missed greenery and fresh air. Riding a bike over cobbled, tree lined streets was exactly what I needed. Our tour took us past many of the major sights and neighborhoods in Athens and gave us a good idea of where we would want to spend more time the following days. This picture is of Zeus' temple.
I love all the adventures you're getting to have!!
