After six full days in Athens - and with a distance of about 90 km (55 mi) walked – we got used to the "pulse of the city". Also, we got to appreciate the great philoxenia (hospitality) and honesty of the Greeks again. Went on the market again this morning to buy two kilo of different olives, cheese, raisins and pistachios. Especally, the olives are gorgeous, the variety and the prices are fantastic! You can try them all before you buy any, and, then they are even vacuumed for free.
Because of demonstrations, announced for tonight (remembering a murdered student during the riots about eleven years ago), police presence was heavy this morning, some metro stations already shut down. Considering this (we had strikes before!), we started early and have some time to burn (or, rather, to work) now at the airport. Gate is not announced yet. The Athens Airport really improved considerably in the last couple of years. It's modern, airy and has nice shops with good deals.
