We spent our last few days in Athens, Greece in which we took a plane from Santorini to Athens which was a 45 minute flight - although I wish the flight was a little longer since I wanted to snooze off a little more, LOL.
Anyway, we got to our airbnb apartment approx around 11pm and unpacked before heading off to bed to regain our energy the next day. But no, I had to fall sick but thankfully TG aka Dr. Ng brought meds and I had to take it since I had mild fever and a real bad flu.
But no matter, I managed to travel around Athens anyway.
We relied alot on the map so, make sure to get one yourself!
Joined a walking tour and went ahead to the Greece Parliament which was supposedly a castle for Royalties but there's no Royals in Greece anymore (?)
Oh btw, don't worry too much about transportation in Athens! It's way way much better than the ones in Santorini and Mykonos - way flexible too. We didn't have to rent a car but we took buses and tubes instead (But please do watch out for your things since there were many cases on pick pockets etc)
I loved this part of Athens, never have I seen so many trees with purple flowers.

Unfortunately, the Acropolis is under renovation. Was a little disappointed but atleast it was still there!
Zeus's temple
Walked around the city for awhile, beware of gypsies guys! They're annoying as hell and I've seen them bug a few tourists here and there (Me, included)
There was one lady who offered me a rose saying that it was for free, and when I took it from her she told me to give her a pound which I obviously didn't and gave the rose back to her. So yeah, beware!
Went to watch the sunset (that we didn't get) at some Hill that was facing the Acropolis.
Visited the museum on the last day and went to have a good dinner at one of the restaurants.
Got sunburn't real badly.
What we had for dinner. :P
Then it was time to head back to the UK the next day but ofcourse nto without getting a typical touristy shirt.
Got my name printed out on the back of the t-shirt but we were rushing so... I couldn't get a proper ootd photo.
Anyway, thanks for reading and hope you guys enjoyed my posts on Greece (excuse the slow updates though). If any of you have got any questions regarding my trip to Greece or you guys would like to know where to go and what not, do not hesitate to leave comments in the section below!

Hi guys! So I'm here with part 2 for Greece, I'd like to point out that my friends and I went for a day trip to Mykonos before heading back to Santorini. :)
You got that right.
The guy gave us a free froyo! Honestly, if you're in Mykonos - do try this place out. Their crepe is amazing! Kayak is great too! :)
I laughed real out loud at this.
It was pretty windy at Mykonos and I regretted wearing that top without a cardigan/hoodie. -.-
Top - New Look
Jeans - Top Shop
Shoes - Nike Air Max
We walked around Little Venice in Mykonos and I've got to say that I am absolutely in love with Mykonos. (Except for the three hour boat ride to Mykonos from Santorini lolol.)
Fell asleep on the boat and had a bad back ache after that, and not to mention I got a little bit sea sick since it was so rocky. It was worth it though, Mykonos was amazing :)
We got back to Santorini at night after Mykonos and woke up at 5 in the morning to watch the sun rise at Perissa Beach. The sand wasn't as sandy but rocky and it hurt my feet, but the water was clear though, like crystal clear and I loved it!
I fell sick after Mykonos and caught the flu bug (Of all times, seriously?) but nevertheless, the sun rise was amazing and it looked like it was an egg yolk in the sky hehe.
Later we went to explore the red beach, it wasn't exactly red but the rocks and hills were red - hence the name Red Beach. There was the black and white beach too. Greece has odd names for their beaches.
Anyway, it was time to say goodbye to Santorini and we were off to Athens to catch up on the History of Greece (*nerd alert)
Next update will be about Athens!
