00:00all right it's Sunday morning about 7 a.m. I'm up in Adam we're about to head to
00:21Acropolis but first I'm gonna go find Lauren some coffee everywhere's closed
00:29Sunday morning in Athens so I'm having to do a bit of a bit of a walk I think
00:33hopefully we come back successful we'll see
00:37lady was so nice I got the coffee right here I think Lauren's gonna be happy I'm
00:42running a little late so she might not be too happy but she also gave me some
00:47free goodies bag secured they saw a bunch of bananas I was like hey can you sell
01:00me a banana and they were like no it's for our juices only I was like I'm sad
01:17Lauren thought ahead so we get to skip the line we're gonna beat them in there
01:24we made it in time for changing of the car
01:30we're at the Parthenon this is the west end of the Parthenon this is the first thing you see when you walk in right over there there he is completely engrossed in his Rick Steves
01:56you can't blame them though the guy's good this is the erectile on these columns are feminine and functional
02:04this is where the goddess Athena thought Poseidon improved once and for all that women
02:12are better than men and she got naming rights to the city and that's why it's
02:15called that Lauren and I are getting all these facts from the Rick Steves podcast for the Acropolis you
02:23should definitely check it out it helps you understand what's going on and we're
02:26just walking around enjoying the views. You can get them for free on Apple Podcasts
02:31they're everywhere but you just look up Rick Steves Athens or wherever you're at.
02:35Found a cat up on top of the hill overlooking Athens. I'd like to personally
02:45thank Lauren for being on top of things we got to skip that whole line.
02:50Acropolis 10 out of 10 let's see. We just finished up at the Acropolis we got there at 8 a.m. we kind of skipped breakfast so we're going to do a late breakfast early lunch at the cafe in this little hut.
03:06It's a pretty neat staircase.
03:11So what's in this one? Grape. Grape.
03:14It's our first time trying Greek coffee so we just got the rundown you're supposed to take a bite of the grape.
03:19Take a sip of coffee and then water. So let's give it a go.
03:27The grape gives it a hint of sweetness.
03:33Tastes like coffee.
03:38And then you wash it all down with water. Sweet, bitter, water.
03:42Repeat. Love it.
03:45Lauren's not as big a fan of Greek coffee as I am. She's going to get a Freddo Cappuccino.
03:52It's just really sweet and really tart.
03:55Okay, I got a classic spinach pie.
04:04Garrett got the chickpeas.
04:07Cooked with tomato and herbs in a pot.
04:10We just found out this area is called the classic stairs.
04:12It's so cute. Everyone just eats on this little hill and they have like little pillows on the steps.
04:16But we've been sitting here for like two hours so it's probably time to go.
04:20Time to move on.
04:21We're refueled and now we're going to go see Ancient Agora.
04:23We've got our airpods in. We're going to let our main man Rick Steves take us through Ancient Agora.
04:40Behind me is an old ancient Greek shopping mall called the Sto of Atalos.
04:45And now it's just a museum for people to go in and learn about Ancient Agora.
04:49These columns at the shopping mall, they're smooth, you can see, until six foot.
04:56And so the smooth part was for encouragement for people to lean against when they're tired or to hang out.
05:02So Lauren's lounging.
05:06This Rick Steves podcast is kind of making me blush.
05:09This is the Temple of Hephaestus.
05:12The story behind it is, I guess, the god Hephaestus, who's the god of blacksmiths.
05:17Had an altercation with the goddess Athena and spilled his sperm, which impregnated the earth and created Athens.
05:28Shout out to Hephaestus and his spilled stuff.
05:32According to Rick Steves, this depiction is a bunch of rowdy centaurs that crashed a wedding and tried to make off with the human women and then they were fought off.
05:47And now it's on a temple.
05:50How does Buriko?
05:52We're at the Athens flea market, which happens every Sunday.
05:54We're going to do some shopping and probably grab some food.
05:57I got the goods!
06:00What is it?
06:02I don't know, how do you say that?
06:03Topolore tupsiri.
06:06Ah, tupsiri.
06:08Tupsiri?
06:10There we go.
06:12Got me a snack!
06:14What's it called?
06:16I think he said it was a tupsiri.
06:19It's like a, it's a very large looking pretzel.
06:24It's like a bread with sesame seeds.
06:26Bread with sesame seeds.
06:27Oh, it's just...
06:36It's kind of tough.
06:37It's like a...
06:39Harder bread with sesame seeds, but it has good flavor.
06:42I could use some fiziki though.
06:50Pretty busy.
06:57Going to the flea market.
07:00Um, they were extremely crowded.
07:02A lot of people trying to sell you things.
07:04This street, I think it's called Adrino?
07:07Adrino? I don't know.
07:09I'll put it at the bottom, but it's definitely
07:12much less crowded and much more enjoyable.
07:25Hello!
07:26We're at Astani and I got a chocolate milk.
07:30Come closer, you guys see the top of it.
07:33This is the Greek yogurt with honey and nuts.
07:37I have top cream with honey on the bottom.
07:42And a cafe, or espresso frito, which is a summer, Greek summer coffee.
07:49Kara is already digging in because he can't wait.
07:52And the Greek yogurt is amazing.
07:54The sweetness of the honey with the crunchiness of the nuts,
07:58mixed in with the creaminess of the yogurt is like,
08:01out of this world.
08:03Top cream.
08:04Going to reach down and get some of that honey too.
08:06Oh yeah.
08:07Look at that.
08:08Oh my god.
08:10It's like whipped cream, but ten times better.
08:16What do you think of that?
08:17Wow.
08:18This place is awesome.
08:19You should definitely check it out.
08:20Hi Nino.

08:40Fifth floor.
08:46They're funky in here.
08:47And this is our room.
08:55Funky mirror.
08:56Funky mirror closet.
08:59Very large shower.
09:02Not just by European standards.
09:04One of the biggest toilets Garrett and I have ever seen.
09:06We have no idea why it's so wide.
09:08I almost fell in.
09:10Some really fun decor.
09:13This funky ladder chair.
09:15With the famous European double twin.
09:20Just when I thought these funky little wall decorations can get any more cool.
09:27I found a light switch.
09:30Y'all.
09:32Cool or creepy if this stares at you while you're sleeping.
