Lucky me, I’m on another adventure and this time almost the whole family is joining. Sadly, at the last minute my oldest realized she couldn’t join because her dog, her beloved, was not well enough for her to leave him for a week and half. We totally supported her of course, but we will seriously miss her.
I came into Athens two days earlier than the rest because my travel plans shifted and I couldn’t get the same flight – finally got a flight 2 days before the rest left the US.
So I came into Athens, getting in around 9 to the hotel. I hadn’t eaten all day. I actually slept on the first flight and whatever they were serving on the second flight was no identifiable if you weren’t German. So the front desk made a res for me upstairs at the restaurant.
Turns out the restaurant here is a Michelin rated restaurant and I just wanted a snack. So I did get a snack (crazy amazing pea appetizer), and despite the fact that I was only ordering an app, they brought me an amuse-bouche that had 5 parts to it! Crazy and such a treat, each bite perfect and different. Yes, even that little ball on the skewer is one of them.

The place was pretty full, but I was able to be on the balcony with this view.
An incredible start to the vacation!
