Carefully shaped cobblestone streets and a sunset kissing the bright blue waterfront left my crew and me speechless on those first few nights. A sweet tune lingered in the air, flowing through the walkways and carrying the vast, striking history of what was—and still is—a sought-after land. We feasted on many new foods and watched merchants sell fine, authentic Greek pieces to bubbly tourists. Amid a lively city, the still perfection of such moments leaves a person’s mind forever changed and undeniably craving more. I’m still incredibly grateful for Athens for being more than what I imagined it would be.
