Athens: All the Classics

<p>After some seriously rocky adventures on Kefalonia, I was kind of looking forward to heading back to big-city civilisation. The Greek islands have great potential but they can be quite hard work, especially so if you visit outside of high season.</p> <p>To be honest I felt the least welcome of any place on my travels whilst being in these islands because of grumpy locals, over-priced food and accommodation, difficulty in getting places and the slapstick level of service.</p> <p>Maybe it&rsquo;s a Greek thing, maybe it&rsquo;s just that they&rsquo;re sick of tourists because we&rsquo;ve been coming here for thousands of years. Whatever. All that has resulted in collective fatigue which means I&rsquo;m in less than an optimum condition to write this entry about Athens, which needs to cover many weird, wonderful and important things. I hope I do it justice, so please bear with me.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/global-roaming/150-athens-all-the-classics-f850168de20b"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
