DRIVING THROUGH THE CENTER OF ATHENS

We were also met and assisted by the Adriatic Tours’ representative and tour guide Fanny G. Georgiou (Call me “Mommy Faye”). She was very knowledgeable and prepared to respond to every challenge along our way. Our luggage was transferred to a grand touring bus with a skilled and friendly driver named Christos Badas.

After the introductory meeting, we drove through the center of Athens. Throughout our ride our guide told us tidbits of history and information. Driving in Athens and Greece is quite an experience. It is very crazy to say the least. Busses go any and every where. There were a few turns that we made that I was surprised we didn’t hit anyone. Then we had first taste of Greek food when we stopped at one of the cantinas in Athens.
