So we have finally arrived in Greece. Having just landed in Athens, which is how most people arrive, we now need to head off to our lodgings and perhaps nap a bit depending on how far the trip was and what the time difference is. I personally would probably just arrange things so as to get into Athens around10 or 11 AM and then stay up and sleep that night. I would probably be up from the previous day since, even though I love to fly, I find myself unable to really sleep on planes and I have found that just making the first day in a new time zone just an extremely long one I am able to sleep like a baby the first night and am up and ready to go.
Finding lodging in Athens should have been fairly easy when booking travel since according to europe-cities.com there are 478 hotels in Athens and I am sure with that many hotels you should be able to find something that would be pleasing to anyone.
Athens is a great place to start your time in Greece since the city is home not only to the Acropolis but also to the Olympic venues that were built for the 2004 Olympics giving you not only the wonderful history of the area that gave birth to the Olympics but also the newest structures created in the country for that ancient championship.
Along with the history of the area there is also the food. Perhaps not everyone likes Greek food and you can find other types of food but if you are in another country I believe that it is a necessity to try the local food. The Greek food that you got in a food court somewhere in the United States will likely have only a vague passing resemblance to the real thing. I have thus far not found any food that I will not eat although I do have a number of things I will not go out of my way to order. I am personally looking forward to the time when I can travel to Greece and, among other things, enjoy the food at local restaurants rather than tourist restaurants.
