Today, August 20th, we will have a short tour of Athens with our group of OAT travelers, some free time to visit one of many city museums and then head for our 50 passenger ship, Athena, leaving from the port city of Piraeus. We stopped to view the changing of the guard with their colorful shoes and pleated skirt. Although there has been much publicity about the turmoil in Greece due to financial cut backs there is little evidence of that aside from the numerous graffiti messages on building walls. Athens is generally considered to be the graffiti capital of the world, a label the city seems to embrace. Overall Athens is clean and functioning like a normal large metropolis.
