August Footsteps 2022 - Athens

Today was a day overflowing with beautiful sights, powerful learnings, and lots of walking! We explored Athens with our wonderful Tour Manager Eleni at the helm. We began the day at the Acropolis where we saw the Theater of Dionysus, the Sanctuary of Asklepios, the Erechtheion, and the Parthenon. We then journeyed to Mars Hill before taking a break in the shade for cookies and a time of reflection and prayer on Acts 17 led by Jessie Trawick Garcia. 

We made our way to the Agora and the Stoa of Attalos which houses the Museum of the Ancient Agora. We then had the chance to see the Temple of Hephaistos before we headed to lunch at Mystilli. The ice cream was a huge hit! 

We then had an opportunity to rest in the afternoon. Eleni met us later in the day and we walked to the New Acropolis Museum; there we were able to learn more about the archaeological findings of the Acropolis. We ended the day with dinner at Attikos Greek House with a spectacular view of the Acropolis.

Tomorrow we venture onto Samos and will have time at the beach. We covet your prayers as we travel!
