I really enjoyed Athens, and can see a lot more to return for. I still haven't sorted out why folks keep coming up to me and asking what hotel I'm staying at. It happened an additional time and this guy, probably 70, near the Acropolis Metro, was adjusting my collar as he talked to me and wanted to have a drink. He said the food on that block was too expensive (which I knew-- had looked at a couple menus) and their moussaka was not prepared fresh each day. Walked off from him, too. I'm really good at walking away from folks as I grasp my travel wallet in one pocket and my cell phone in the other. This person said be visits a cousin in Houston every year or two. I'm really curious why they all want to know where I'm staying - is it to gauge my value as a target? Would they walk off on their own if I told them I was at a hostel and not an hotel? I rarely have more than 100 euros so they're not going to make a big catch with me if they're looking for cash.
