BARCELONA, SPAIN
Our Athens tour guide has the right idea, though we don't know that until later. Head straight for the Acropolis, she tells the bus driver, and once there she pushes us to climb quickly to the Parthenon, the temple at the top. If we can reach it before 8:30 a.m., we'll beat the advancing crowd and perhaps some of the late-summer heat.
The brochure claims that this eight-hour shore excursion begins with a scenic drive and a brief orientation of the Greek capital. But tour guide Eleni knows better. She understands that he who hesitates may not be lost at the Acropolis, but he will find the ancient temple an unpleasant place, thanks to tourists crawling every which way. Oh, and the authorities close the gates when the landmark reaches human capacity. No one stops the mongrel dogs that roam freely.
It's not the easiest of hikes, thanks to unpredictable stone paths, uneven stairs with varying risers and a lack of handrails. (Note to self: Pack a collapsible walking stick next time.) Cranes flank the temple, always in a state of repair, the enduring symbol of Greece. It's a pinch-yourself moment, of which there are many on this 12-night Mediterranean cruise. From our hilltop vantage Athens sprawls 360 degrees, a modern city with serious problems. We are gazing at history all around, some ancient, some still playing out.
