雅典第二天 Athens Day 2

2022年5月8日 星期日 此次旅行的第20天,今天正式标记此次旅行的前半段,还有20天的行程!

Sunday, May 8, 2022. Day 20 of our trip, today officially marks the first half of the trip, with 20 more days to go!

今天是放松休息的一天, 中午去附近的一个海鲜市场,希望能买到皮皮虾然后回家自己做着吃,没想到周日市场不开门!完全忘记了,这里很多店铺周日都休息。在市场附近的一个卖蔬菜水果的小摊买了小一盒草莓,几个香蕉,一个哈密瓜,那个摊主白送了我两个猕猴桃!还要送李子,被我俩拒绝了。下午在民宿的地下室的洗衣室里洗了衣服, PJG在民宿休息,我自己出去闲逛了一圈,5月份的希腊和11月份的希腊有什么区别?目前的答案是人/游客多了很多!在繁忙区域真的是人山人海。

Today was a day to relax, mostly. We went to a nearby seafood market at noon, hoping to buy Pipi shrimp and then go home and cook it myself. But I didn’t expect the market to be closed on Sunday! I totally forgot that many shops here are closed on Sundays. So we bought a small box of strawberries, a few bananas, and a cantaloupe from a fruit stall selling vegetables and fruits near the market and then picked up some sandwiches for lunch. The stall owner gave me two kiwis for free and also tried to give us free plums which we declined! Seems Greek people everywhere are very generous! In the afternoon, we did our laundry in the basement of the B&B. While waiting for the laundry PJG rested at the B&B and I went out for a walk by myself. What is the difference between Greece in May and Greece in November? My current answer is that there are a lot more people / visitors out and about! It got really crowded in the busy areas.

我俩的民宿楼,PJG在我俩的阳台上 Our B&B building called Central Stay, you can see PJG is on our balcony.
我的午餐, 希腊烤肉卷饼,只要3欧元,当时感觉很便宜,我后来闲逛的时候,看到一个地方只要1.5欧元 My pork Gyros for lunch was only 3 euros, which seemed cheap at the time, until later, when I saw a place selling the same for 1.5 euros!
PJG买的三文治,在我俩的最美景色的阳台吃午饭 PJG sandwich with lunch on our balcony and the most beautiful view in Athens!
买的草莓 The strawberry we bought
民宿楼下有一家旧货店 There is an antique shop across from our building.
闲逛时看到附近很多的旧货摊子 We saw a lot of antique stores nearby, must be a Sunday thing.
旧货和墙上涂鸦完美结合 The perfect combination of antiques and graffiti on the wall.
很多人来这个饭店拍照, 被装修成了仙境主题 Many people come to this restaurant to take pictures. It is called “Little Kook”, I think a children’s fantasy place.
又一家粉红主题 Another pink themed restaurant.
一家教堂前好像正在举行婚礼之类的 There seems to be a wedding or something in front of this church.
很多卖这种气球的 A lot of people sell these kinds of balloons.
闲逛的时候看到很多这种非常酷的大型的墙绘 I saw a lot of these really large cool wall paintings when I was walking out by myself.
晚饭在民宿附近找了一家小店,桌子都摆在小胡同里,晚上9点多就座无虚席了 For dinner, we found this small restaurant, Atlantikos, in a nondescript alley near our B&B. The cheap tables were placed in the alleys, and the place was packed after 9pm. Really fresh and delicious seafood!
希腊沙拉 Our Greek Salad
炸海鲜,很新鲜 Fried seafood, very fresh. You eat the whole shrimp, skin and bones and all!
烤大虾,很好吃,竟然没吃完,打包了三只回家 The grilled prawns were delicious, but we couldn’t finish them, so I packed up three of them for lunch tomorrow!

傍晚的时候,我俩坐在一个酒吧做我俩最喜欢做的事情,喝啤酒看人群,我问PJG在美国哪里能找到雅典这样氛围的地方,下面的图片是他的回答,哈哈!

In the evening, we were sitting in a bar doing our favorite things, drinking pints and watching the crowds. I asked PJG where in the US can I find a place with an atmosphere like here in Athens, and the picture below was his answer, haha!

  1. 雅典的许多墙绘和主题餐厅新颖又好看,挺吸引人。
    那个炸海鲜看着好吃又很实惠。
    最有趣的是最后一张照片。哈哈😄
    唯一的一位司机导游vip高级会员兼演员还满配合、满上镜的。😄

  2. Interesting that the B&B left a portion of their wall uncovered. I think you chose well in your B&B – lovely view and close to shops. Hopefully your pork gyro was tastier than the cheaper one but you’ll never know, so you probably made the right choice. Also very interesting wall murals everywhere. Perhaps you should buy an old suitcase at the antique market for all the souvenirs you could purchase!

  3. You’re in Greece but the wall mural has words in English. We’re there a lot of things in English there?
