Athens ruins

Last day in Greece 13 Nov 2026 Last day in Greece 13 Nov 2026 Athens, Greece --

The skies are grey today, our last full day in Greece. We walked towards the Acropolis but instead of visiting the popular site we climbed a bit of rock to get to Mars Hill. The hill provides a good overview of Athens. Mars Hill, also a popular destination, did not disappoint. Afterwards we walked to the National Museum of Contemporary Art, a recently refurbished brewery with many spacious rooms that provide a fine space for exhibiting modern art.
