Athens & Greece Tour

After 4 nights at Oia on Santorini Island, we flew back to Athens, the day before our tour started. We toured Athens and the Pelopennese Pennisula for 2 weeks. It was quite impressive to see ruins and items from  2700 to 3000 years ago. Lots of walking and hiking, great scenery, yummy food, and memories for both of us.
