Day 261  April 22  2015  Athens Greece


We toured the ruins of Delphi for a few hours then continued our drive towards Athens with a stop at the Loukas Monastery.  The monastery was beautiful as were the rolling hills around it and the mountains in the background.  We were not sure what to expect of the apartment when we got to Athens.  When we were looking at it on Airbnb it was priced to low for what the pictures were displaying.  Evy and I both ignored it for the first part of our accommodation search.  We both felt that there was something wrong and it was a scam similar to what we had experienced in the Philippines.   We were happy when we got there and discovered that it was exactly like the pictures.  The apartment was large and very comfortable.  The view from the living room was fantastic as it overlooked the city.   We needed to wash clothes and did a search on the internet looking for a Laundromat in the area.  When we got to the location the business was nowhere to be found, I suspect another victim of the Greek crisis.  We headed towards the center of the town as we knew there were more coin laundries there.  When we finally found one it was 8:50 pm and they closed at 9 pm.  We ended up washing some clothes in the sink when we got back to the apartment.  We wasted just over 2 hours trying to find a place to do our clothes.
