Today I remembered I never told you about the day the Acropolis was closed.
I have to say, it was a drag. But we made the most of it… or at least the 5 hours of what was left of our honeymoon. Luckily, we were able to drown our sorrows in shots of ouzo and a giant plate of moussaka, and quickly jaunt through the only open ruins and gallery in all of Athens. We unknowingly hailed the sweetest cab driver who took pity on us and our unlucky day… he drove us all the way up to the top of the ruins and let us get out to climb up the side of the Acropolis “Hill” to get a starlit 360 degree view of the city below. Ended up being a pretty breathtaking note to end a ridiculously breathtaking adventure.
