At this point in the trip, we had visited so many museums that they all started to blend together. The National Archaeological Museum, while impressive, it was not as impressing as I hoped. After we finished walking through the museum, we had some free time. I was craving some pizza but no one else wanted to join me. I decided to go by myself to satisfy my craving. I found a little pizza shop just five minutes away from the hotel. The service was great, which was pretty rare to find in Athens, making the experience all the more enjoyable. After lunch, I met up with the group again to visit the Wyndham Hotel. The hotel was stunning—very nice and modern. At the end of our tour, we were treated to some delicious lemonade. On our final day, we visited the Panathenaic Stadium, which turned out to be one of my favorite excursions. We all know that Greece is the birthplace of the Olympics, but being able to see and experience the stadium in person was truly unique. We followed an audio tour that transported us back to ancient Olympic times. It was incredibly fun and interesting to imagine the excitement and energy of the ancient games. With the rest of the day free until our farewell dinner, my group and I decided to visit a natural lake about 40 minutes away from Athens. The views were absolutely unreal. The lake had little fish that nibbled on the dead skin on your feet, providing an unexpected and ticklish spa experience. While I didn’t spend too much time in the water because of the tickling fish, we had a few drinks and lunch there, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Back at the hotel, I started packing up the things I was no longer going to use, preparing for our departure. At the farewell dinner, I sat with the friends I had made during the trip. We became close in such a short amount of time, making the farewell dinner a bittersweet occasion. I was sad to be leaving but also excited to return home. After dinner we walked around Plaka soaking up our last few moments in Greece. We ended up stopping by McDonald’s for a late-night snack before heading back to the hotel to rest up for our long travel days ahead.
