Athens Day 2 -  Athens during a bank holiday (May Day)

5/2/2022

0 Comments

 
Today is the May Day bank holiday in Greece, so everything is closed.  When I was planning the trip, we planned 3 full days in Athens to allow us to slow down some and have 3 easier days, but with today being a holiday, we had to have a full day yesterday, and a full day tomorrow.  Today we do nothing.

We slept in, found a fast food pasta place down the street for lunch, and hung out on the couch watching TV, blogging, and planning future travel.   It was a rainy day anyway, so we didn't feel to bad spending the day in the apartment. 

While sitting on the couch, I happen to type "brewery" in Google Maps, and two breweries popped up...and they both are only 10-15 minute walk from the apartment.  We left at 5 PM and walked to the first brewery, Blame the Sun.

We hung out there for a bit and talked to one of the owners, Angelo.  He suggested a restaurant for us to check out tomorrow.  Now I can't wait for tomorrow's dinner.

Next we walked to Strange Brew Brewery...a very competent brewery.

As we were walking back to the apartment, we saw people sitting outside a cafe and all of a sudden felt very hungry.  They just only 4 small plates, so we order all of them...Oh they also had peanuts that they kept refilling for us.

The first dish was strawberries and cheese.

This was followed by peppers and pita bread, a fish pita sandwich. and a sliced meat & cheese plate.

It was all really good even though it was after 10 PM while we were eating it.  After the snack, we walked back to the apartment, watched some TV while digesting some, and then went to bed.  Tomorrow we have 2 museums to tour, so it will be a long day.
