  • The hotel had an archaeological site in their basement! How cool is that?
  • You've heard of the Greek philosopher Testicles, yes?
  • More ancient ruins under our hotel.
  • Curvy art.
  • A fancy eclair at the hotel's rooftop restaurant. The presentation was impressive. The taste was okay.
  • Someone went a little nuts with the Nutella at breakfast.
  • Hanging out at the hotel pool, right before it started to rain.
  • Prismatic refractions of the grout lines under the hotel pool. I also took some slow motion video of these, with my phone.

  • We encountered an unexpected aspect of Greek culture at the hotel. While attempting to use the pool the afternoon of our arrival, we were informed that it was closed from 2:30-5:30 for "siesta", per Greek law.
  • It rained a lot while we were in Athens. Like, a LOT. The streets became rivers due to inadequate drainage systems.
  • I was amused to see Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes with Greek subtitles in the hotel lounge. My favorite Holmes.
