OMG Greece

I was finally able to make it outside the hotels where the software conference is being held. This was the Athens view from the restaurant where I had dinner last night. The restaurant is called Dionysos, and wow it is something. Not a bad seat in the house. The restaurant decor has spared no expense, and the service was fantastic.

I stumbled into a lunch spot just beneath the Acropolis, called Geros Toy Moria, in the winding roads of Plaka. We sat at a table on a hillside sidewalk, drank espressos, had an awesome tomato salad, ate fresh-catch fish, and finished with baklava. Again, the service was exceptional. They compete with the gentleman who has situated his restaurant directly next door, down the sidewalk. It is quaint to watch them entice the potentials.

Today we visited several islands. I couldn't help continuously asking directions to the town named Vagia on the island of Aegina.
