Athens lunch and shopping

The tour in Athens was completed by lunch (pic. 1) and shopping (pic. 2). My baked fish meal was not the standard but a special gluten free one. Everyone at the table was impressed by the size of the teeth on the fish. It looked like a piranha. The shopping was very touristy and hindered by many of the shop keepers smoking in their shops which made them too smelly to shop in.

Although I was happy with my tour this is not the way to see Athens. I have been to Athens before and hired a taxi at the pier for a full day tour. When I did this I saw many archeological sites. I wish I had a list of them with me but I was really impressed with what I saw. On the ship's tour we were pretty much limited to the Acropolis.
