The biggest excitement of Pireaus was that it marked the fact that we were finally leaving the Asia season for a small stop in the Mediterranean before our long Scandinavian summer. Were we ever weary! We were resolute not to spent a penny in Europe as it was so expensive. Even though we had no qualms spending on all that seafood in Asia.
I didn't go into Athens, see the Acropolis, or anything. Me and Sherwin had some time for Greek food at my favourite Pizza place (we must have forgotten the camera!) and later I just took a short walk from the ship as I was busy working most of the day.
I did see an interesting display case belonging to a seafood restaurant!
And I believe I saw a big Greek wedding.
This bonsai in a nearby store was lovely. It looked a little like a Baobab tree.

When I went to Athens a few years ago, the local historical board employees were on strike, so couldn't get into the Acropolis, Parthenon etc etc, everything closed.
One day I hope to make it to Athens, Stacey. (If I were still with Donica, I would have been there this past April on a cruise.)
I just found your blog...how cool. And lucky you for seeing a Greek wedding. I've always wanted to see one!
Greece is definitely one of the must-see places on my list. The place is just filled with so much history. Just the feeling of being there would definitely be awesome. :D
Your blog is very interesting to read...You were really very lucky as you could see the Greek wedding in Athens
