I have just returned from a city break in Athens. It was a wonderful mini break after a long and tiring half term at school... Above is a snap of me on a rocky hill just outside of the Acropolis. The views were spectacular and you could see the whole of the city sprawled out all around you - beautiful!
Beutiful views of the snowy Alps on our flight to Athens.
Our meal in the traditional family-run Greek taverna. The meatballs, moussaka and the greek slad were delicious!
Mmmm feta and olives!
We did have a bit of bad luck with the weather and here's me doing the obligatory "singing-in-the-rain" moment.
Nutella croissant for breakfast!? Yes please!
Goats cheese and olives are among my favouite things... so I was in heaven!
One of the theatre's at the foot of the Acropolis
On our first day we visited the Acropolis, as we reached the lofty ruins a huge dark ominous cloud came across the hills and there was a thunder storm! With the Acropolis being build on solid rock we quickly felt like we were rock-pooling with all the huge puddles springing up! We got absolutely drenched, but we made a quick pit-stop to a Starbucks for tea and hot chocolate and changed into dry clothes at our hotel.
Beautiful views!
Over the break (on Valentine's Day) there was also a little addition to my ring finger...
Ta-dah! The beautiful engagement ring :D
Relaxing and enjoying the views... one guess to decide which feet belong to me!
I would totally recommend a visit to the Greek Capital. There is so much to see, culture to take in, and delicious food!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip. Congratulations on your engagement. I, too, booked a trip to Athens in February but just realized how unpredictable the weather is according to a trip forum. Your photos give me confident that it's not that bad. Hopefully, we can get good pictures like yours. Cheers to travel and engagements!
