Rare BennyBrun Posted July 29, 2022 Author #79 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Central Market There is a sushi bar right outside the fish market… they slice the fish right there… the fish is just sitting on ice on the bottom … I am all for fresh food but that’s too fresh for me ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted July 29, 2022 Author #80 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Central Market Meat section … again… I like the sausage but I don’t want to know the exact details on how it’s made kind of a person! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted July 29, 2022 Author #81 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Food Tour Authentic Greek coffee experience … very interesting how they “brew” Greek coffee … loved it! Not a fan of the jelly fruit at the end… but I am not a Turkish Delight kind of a guy… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted July 29, 2022 Author #82 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Food Tour Greek Deli… Greek Cheese Feta and a softer Greek cheese … delicious and nothing like what I buy at the supermarket back at home … the Greek white/red wine was interesting… the Raki from Turkey (similar to Ozuo) The Greek yogurt here is NOTHING like Chobani … it has more texture and the honey drizzle … WOW… I never knew there were so many different types of honey in Greece. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend adding a few days before the cruise to explore Athens… lots of cultures and gives time for you body to adjust the time change! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesimapirate Posted July 29, 2022 #97 Share Posted July 29, 2022 On 7/28/2022 at 7:00 AM, BennyBrun said: Pre Cruise Moxy Athens… I picked this hotel because it’s close to public transport, close to central market and close to the Acropolis. Plus I can hop on the public transport to the cruise port. How do you like the Moxy? I'm Bonvoy Titanium so it was one of the hotels I looked it. Currently booked at the King George but I'm not sure I want to pay thr $500/night extra cost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot the service but I am not looking for a resort type while in Athens due to the many activities I have planned and there are so much to see and do. Breakfast is complimentary for platinum elite if you select it as your welcome amenity. I am very glad I picked this place. The location is great, very accessible to the Metro and getting here from the airport was a breeze on the metro. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fethiyeden Posted July 30, 2022 #100 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Loving the review. Who did you book the food tour with? It looks fabulous. I live in Turkey & the cherries are more expensive here to buy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
