I have a food tour with lunch at 1:30PM so I am going to start my ancient ruins tour.  I purchased a combo ticket (multiples sites within in 5 days) for 30E.  First stop Roman Agora

I still had lots of time so I am going to stroll through the flea market … very interesting to walk through… I thought Barcelona was a cheap place but Athens … WOW!  With the strong dollar it’s amazing… my suitcase is getting fuller and I didn’t even start my cruise yet!

I still had time so I decided to go through the Ancient Agora today… instead of seeing it tomorrow with the Acropolis… I will have more time…

I went directly to the source directly…  make sure you change it to English so you know what you are buying.  You have to select one but then change it to the combo ticket before you pay… make sure it says combo ticket 30E

This is a big place… not as big as Acropolis but it’s big… lots of walking in rocky sandy surface … plan accordingly to the weather and physical abilities!!!

Actually they are Turkey cherries … 1.99 E per kilo this morning by the afternoon it’s .99 E per kilo.  I got 2 kilos for the room… I love cherries but right now at the states the price is insane!  So about 1 USD you get 2.2 lbs… it’s a deal!
