Okey, so I'm back in Finland. It sure is crazy what even a short vacation like this one can do. I got to recharge my batteries and now I'm ready to take on work and everything else. Luckily it's almost summer in Finland so it's not that bad.
Athens was such a beautiful place. I feel like we were on the move 24/7 because there was just so much to see and since I was there for only 4 whole days there was't any time to waste. Luckily our hotel was in the heart of the city so the connections from there were are really good. The fact that the tourist season hadn't begun yet was also great, since the streets and sight weren't that crowded.
The streets surrounding our hotel were full of cozy cafe's and restaurants.

The National garden was right next to our hotel. It was pretty much empty everyday so it was great for morning jogs and just walking around.

Our "tourist day" started with The Acropolis Museus followed by going to the actual thing.
I got this this salad & ice espresso pretty much everyday from this great little coffee house next to our hotel. It's so good and the prices are super low compared to the cafe's in Finland.

Later on we climbed up Mount Lycabettus. The way up there was pretty friggin long but the view was worth it.
As a vegetarian it was really hard to find a restaurant that served vegetarian food at all. I read about Avocado from happycow.com and had to try it out. I'm so glad we did because the food was so good!
Seriously the best tea I've ever tasted.
The view from the roof top terrace we had breakfast at every morning was so beautiful.

We decided to visit one of the many little islands surrounding Greece called Aegina. There were boats leaving from the pier all the time and it only took an hour to get there after taking the metro to the pier.
After arriving to Aegina we headed straight to the nearest beach and laid there for the rest of they day.

In the evening after getting back to Athens we went to walk around and came across this yogurt place called Fresko yogurt bar. They serve greek yogurt and you can top it off with anything you like. Out of the many, many choices I took strawberries, honey and muesli. I can definitely recommend this place!
My last day in Athens started with an iced espresso and lying by the pool. I still hadn't checked out the stores of Syntagma so that's where I headed. I was on a budget so I definitely had to limit my shopping but I found a few great pieces for the summer and just couldn't resist.
