Athens & Side Trips Greece
In the episode of Rick Steves' Europe, "Athens and Side Trips", He (Rick) hiked up to the Acropolis overlooking Athens and took in the wonders of some of the major monuments in what used to be the main citadel in ancient Greece.

Athens, and Greece as a whole, has been one of the top destinations on my travel list for some time. I've been fascinated with ancient mythology since I was young and the idea of actually travelling to where these stories and legends originated would be very exciting. There are dozens of ancient historic sites in Greece to explore and an amazing culture to
