Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of this that people have enough imagination to create the unique glory of the Acropolis more than 2,000 years ago. The ancient market is not far from the Acropolis and is one of the oldest sites in Greece. Its importance is by no means inferior to that of the Acropolis. Only broken walls and ruins remain at its original site.

The word "forum" is called "Angora" in Greek, which means "market" in modern Greek. In ancient Greek, it has a broad meaning, mainly referring to the place where political, religious and cultural facilities are concentrated. At that time, many Greek men not only shopped here, but also discussed politics, exchanged information and participated in debates.

Socrates, Plato and others have given speeches here. From the restored Atros Colonnade and the large number of sculptures displayed side by side, one can feel the bustling democratic debates of the time. One must be careful in the ancient market, because there are scattered and beautifully carved stone slabs, stone statues and stone tablets from thousands of years ago.

Yunluo couldn't imagine that the local government would allow such precious cultural relics to be left idle on the roadside, so Yunluo suspected that these were fakes and put the handbag on an inconspicuous stone seat. Unexpectedly, he was immediately stopped by the staff, which made Yunluo feel guilty. The Athens government is really "rich and powerful", and it seems that the management of cultural relics is much more casual.

Coming out of the ancient market and passing through a food street full of art and leisure atmosphere, you will soon find the Monastiraki subway transfer station. This should be considered a relatively large transfer station in Athens, with many lines intersecting here.

At this point, you are already in Plaka. The alleys of the old town of Plaka sell natural sponges, local trinkets, replicas of ancient sculptures, postcards, etc., generally for 3-10 euros.

But Yunluo thought the workmanship was rough and heavy, and the price (in RMB) was not cost-effective, so Yunluo bought almost nothing. The gold jewelry store has a complete range of goods and features, but Yunluo can't tell the difference. Fearing being shortchanged and cheated, even though I was tempted, I still didn't dare to buy.

But the white cheese was still hard for Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to swallow. The prices on the menu were 2-5 Euros more expensive than the prices mentioned by netizens. I don’t know if the prices have increased or if the restaurant is too expensive. But in any case, the expensive grilled octopus in this restaurant quickly relieved Yunluo from the heat stroke, and the octopus feet were very chewy.

Served with the store's secret lemongrass sauce, it perfectly brings out the visual and taste experience of the grilled octopus, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth after eating it, making Yunluo, who likes sour food, quickly fall in love with the strange yet familiar Greek dish.

This first meal cost 44 Euros. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu quickly converted the amount into RMB in their minds. It was enough to go to a five-star buffet restaurant. They felt heartbroken (actually, they got used to it later. When they saw things costing several or dozens of Euros, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu just said, "It's very cheap. It's only a few or dozens of Yuan. It seems that the price standard can change easily).

But it was worth it just for the delicious grilled octopus! At 3pm, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu watched the handover of soldiers at Constitution Square. They were already very tired. Yunluo was very "lucky" to be chosen by a local female thief. Haha, I didn't expect Yunluo to be so alert even when he had a heat stroke (or maybe the foreign thieves were too low in technology).

After being discovered by Yunluo, she pretended to be an ordinary tourist and took photos. But the shawl on her arm exposed everything - why was she wearing a shawl in such a hot day? Fortunately, she was safe. Relying on the last bit of energy, she returned to the hotel and collapsed until 10 o'clock in the evening, when she woke up and went back to sleep. I hope everything will be fine tomorrow!

One netizen said, "The bus from the airport to the city is x95 (not e95). The 2.9 euro ticket clearly states that it is a one-way trip + you can take any means of transportation in the city within 24 hours. Some seniors also said that it is very cost-effective to calculate the time and buy a ticket 24 hours before returning, but in fact you cannot buy this kind of ticket in Athens when you return."

But Yunluo and Yan Chenyu asked about the x95 (which increased to 3.2 euros) which did not include 24-hour transportation, so they bought a 3 euro day ticket. However, the subway in Athens is too lax. There is no barrier at all, and no one checks tickets - Yunluo didn't see any locals stamping tickets anyway.

Of course, Yunluo personally thinks that it is better not to evade the ticket, mainly because if caught, the heavy fine will not be worth it, because Yunluo and Yan Chenyu are from other places. The x95 station is right outside the airport, which is very easy to find (no need to cross the road). It is absolutely the right choice to arrive at the Acropolis before 8:00. After 9:00, there will be a lot of tour groups.

It greatly destroyed the elegant temperament of the building and the atmosphere of reminiscing about the past years. The most important thing is that taking pictures and staying will be blocked by the crowd. It is recommended to do enough homework in advance to visit the Acropolis ruins and have a certain understanding of architecture, culture, and history, so as to find sublimation and beauty in the ruins. Find relevant maps and introductions (preferably with real-life pictures), otherwise it will be a waste of time.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu only went to see the attraction with the text introduction. Due to the influence of language and road signs, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu found it almost impossible to match the attractions with the text explanations and could not tell which was which.

The Acropolis package ticket costs 12 euros, and includes six attractions. Yunluo thinks that it is not enough to visit all of them in one day, which is a bit of a waste. However, according to the previous guide, it is valid for 3 days, but Yunluo did not find any relevant words on the ticket, and of course there is no validity period.

It is recommended to download maps of the travel destinations in China with a GPS-enabled mobile phone. Due to language and writing problems, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu easily lost their location, and paper maps alone were not enough. It is very difficult to find toilets in Athens. It is recommended to go to the toilets where you eat and drink, and don't expect to find public toilets - especially in Plaka.

Personal opinion: Although the restaurants introduced by netizens are very good and cheap, for people who are not familiar with the roads, Yunluo thinks it is too energy-consuming and time-consuming to go around just for a restaurant. Just eat when you are hungry, and maybe you will make unexpected discoveries.

There are small coffee shops all over the streets of Athens, selling bread, milk, and juice. The prices are cheap. (Their density and popularity are similar to that of small noodle shops in Chongqing.) You can buy a liter of milk for 1-2 euros, and a full loaf of bread for 2-5 euros, which is cheaper than the breakfast provided by the hotel.

The most exciting day has arrived! Heat stroke, fatigue and even hunger quickly succumbed to spiritual power. Early in the morning, Yunluo immediately recovered to his overcharged battery state, eagerly carrying (note: not dragging) the heavy suitcase, and trotting all the way to the Piraeaus Pier.

Exit the subway station, go up the overpass, and arrive at the pier. The Bluestar ticket pick-up point is next to E6 and E7. Pay attention to the road signs to find it (about 200 meters after getting off the overpass). Give the printed ticket to the staff and you can quickly get your own ticket. Be sure to ask the pier for boarding, because Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's boat is not docked where you can see.

The staff told Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to take a free white bus near the overpass. Then they could reach the correct pier (I don't know if the pier is fixed). After waiting for more than 10 minutes, the bus finally started. On the bus, we met a rare oriental face. After chatting, we found out that we were compatriots. It felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu bought deck tickets and were asked to pile all their luggage in the ferry cabin on the first floor below ground (people with cabin space can bring their luggage on board). It was a mess, with all kinds of luggage everywhere. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were worried about the safety of their luggage. But everyone was accustomed to grabbing the most advantageous position, and there were no inventory tickets.

No one could walk in. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had no choice but to follow the local customs and squeezed their luggage together with their Hong Kong compatriots and hurriedly boarded the ship. The ship was about 3-4 floors. In addition to the cabin tickets, there were also aircraft seat cabins (with air conditioning), a small bar indoors, and a top deck bar.

The drinks in the deck bar are not much more expensive than those on shore, and you won't be driven away if you don't order a drink, so you can rest assured. The only downside is that there is no air conditioning on this floor. But since it avoids direct sunlight and has good ventilation, it doesn't feel very hot.

Set sail at 9:00 and head for the long-dreamed Sea of ​​Love. The warm and humid sea breeze blows over the kissing couple, the colorful clothes set off the boundless blue sea, and the ancient legends lead to infinite reverie. Everything is combined so naturally and beautifully, and it is natural. Love does not need any deliberateness, it is ready to emerge in this slow swing.

However, in Yunluo's opinion, although the sea is vast, it is somewhat monotonous after all. Only the small islands, ships, seabirds and dolphins that appear from time to time become the finishing touches, which make it seem surprising rather than tiring.

At 14:20, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu sailed into a semi-enclosed bay and arrived at the exciting Holy Island. Yunluo wanted to write very few words about the Holy Island, because words are not as intuitive as pictures, and pictures are far less beautiful and shocking than seeing it with your own eyes and feeling it in person.

Many people praised Yunluo for his improved photography skills after seeing the photos he took. In fact, Yunluo was still using the point-and-shoot mode of his SLR camera, and his composition skills had not improved. The key point is that the scenery here is beautiful and harmonious no matter how you take it, and any shot can turn into a postcard.

Santorini is a place where one can fully display the talent of professional photographers and also satisfy the vanity of novices like Yunluo. No wonder it has become a holy place for photography enthusiasts.

Santorini was formed by volcanic eruptions. On one side is a steep cliff, and on the other side is a gentle slope and sand. The cross-section probably looks a bit like an oblique triangle. The side facing the cliff is majestic and majestic, and the sea view is breathtaking. The main view is concentrated here. The hotel prices here are relatively expensive, but it is definitely worth it!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The slope side is more convenient for vehicles to travel, there are some crops planted there, and there are also many well-equipped small hotels. The price is nearly half cheaper, and it is also very suitable for friends who do not need to see the sea in the room - because you only need to climb the steps from the narrow alley, and you can quickly reach the viewing platform on the cliff and shuttle through the gravel-paved path.

Enjoy the various shops and handicrafts with a strong artistic atmosphere. Time here is almost stagnant and seems to be flying. You can hardly stay in each shop for too long, and time passes by unknowingly. At first glance, the buildings of oia are scattered, disordered, and independent, but they seem to be of the same origin, supporting and setting off each other - just like looking at an abstract graffiti.

I have no idea how all those colorful things are squeezed together, but I feel that they are connected to each other and express a common essence. Legend has it that the owners of the Holy Island are a group of wandering artists who fell in love with this place and settled here, perfectly integrating architecture with islands, pragmatism and performance art to create a fairy-tale island.

Oia, known as the place with the most beautiful sunset in the world, has been gathering people waiting to watch the view since 17:30. The cliff-side restaurant surrounded by bustling people next to the observation deck is packed - haha, what could be more relaxing and comfortable than watching the most beautiful sunset and sea view while tasting exotic food - even if it is a little expensive, it is worth it.

Of course, the prerequisite is to get a seat. At 19:00, the observation deck was already crowded with people, and all the places where people could stand and sit were filled with tourists from all over the world. The tripod was no longer useful, and Yunluo had to rely on his trembling hands.

Waiting for the good always makes people's hearts beat fast. Only a vague impression triggers endless speculation and fantasy. The sun, without its dazzling armor, shows its gentle tenderness, making people who are waiting for the sunset reluctant to let it go, eager but procrastinating. A cheerful guitar song opens the prelude to the sunset party, with a group of energetic young people.

Singing and dancing to the music, everything was so natural, friendly and passionate. European young people are indeed more bold, straightforward and enthusiastic, and the reserved Chinese may only join in this party with the beautiful sea view and sunset in their hearts.

The sunset, accompanied by singing and piano music, carrying the wishes of many tourists, reflecting the return of schooners and single-sail fishing boats, happened so leisurely and leisurely, just like yesterday, the day before, and the day before that...

We see off group after group of people who yearn for love and romance, and fulfill one love vow and dream after another. Love has its ups and downs, youth will be worn down by time, and the party will eventually end, but the good memories will never be erased - this is eternity.

I remember an ancient foreign myth that said someone got a pocket watch that could stop time. When he felt satisfied, he could press the pocket watch to stay in this scene forever. If there was such a myth, then now was the moment when Yun Luo shouted "stop" in his heart.

Many poor friends are worried about the deck tickets, thinking that they have to sunbathe in the open air, but that is not the case. The deck bar is covered with decks on the top and around it, and there are large ventilation windows, as well as many tables, chairs and benches. Many foreigners have already occupied the comfortable seats around it. (To be continued...)
