Our last stop of this nearly three week trip is here. We left early in the morning to catch a flight from Athens to Crete and then had an hour drive to our hotel, Domes of Elounda. After a late check-in we were finally able to get our room and enjoy our first night on this beautiful island.

In our final day in Athens we took Elle to the National Garden where she walked around and made some friends at the playground. We finished our time with Athens with some good old fashion American barbecue at a Michelin guide restaurant near our hotel.

Today marks our first day in Athens, and our big excursion was to the Acropolis. Elle loved every second of it, but our favorite memory will always be her calling the people dressed up as Spartans, “Santa.”

As we wrap up our time in Zurich, we made our way to Athens this morning with yet another early flight. We were lucky to have Elle find a friend in the row behind us, and we enjoyed a stunning dinner overlooking the Acropolis.

If there was a day on this trip that was for Elle, today would be it. We started the day at a zoo, then went to a chocolate factory, and ended the day with cheese fondue.

Although we had to alter our plans today due to the hot temperatures, that didn’t stop us from enjoying a great museum and some delicious cheese fondue.
