A Stressful Start in New Jersey

Our journey began at the Victoria Parking in New Jersey, with suitcases in tow and anticipation in the air. However, what awaited us at the Newark Liberty International Airport was a scene of chaos—an unprecedentedly long security line stretching farther than our wildest imaginations. Such a sight in year eleven of our traveler chronicles! If there's one thing to learn from this ordeal, it's the necessity of arriving three hours early during these unpredictable travel times.

A Culinary Layover in Copenhagen

Upon arriving at Copenhagen airport, we decided to treat ourselves to a meal at the acclaimed Gasoline Grill. The bill was as hefty as the portions: $63 for a cheeseburger meal and chicken nuggets. Despite the steep cost, the burgers and sizeable chicken tenders were delectable and set the groundwork for our foodie adventure. It was a savory intermission before continuing our arduous journey to Greece.

Welcomed by the Aegean Breeze

After 24 hours and three flights later, we finally arrived in Athens, fatigued yet excited. Checking into the Antum Poris Life and Style Hotel was like stepping into a sanctuary. Offering splendid views and comfortable amenities, this hotel at the Athens Ferry Port promised a luxurious respite from our exhaustive travels. The warm Greek hospitality was evident from the moment we stepped in.

Feasting in the Heart of Athens

No travel experience is complete without indulging in local cuisine, and Morto Grill in Athens did not disappoint. Located around the corner from our hotel, this charming restaurant showcased a feast of Greek delights. With an impressive menu featuring Greek salad, suvaki, kebabs, and the infamous baklava, our taste buds danced with joy. This memorable dining experience in Athens was a testament to the region's culinary glory.
