During the weekends that we are in Athens with no trips planned, my roommates and I have been trying to come up with things to do so that we can get out of our apartment, see the city, and experience Greek culture.

Of the many many museums in Athens, so far I have been to the Byzantine Art Museum (allows one to see the progression of Jesus’ figure from a blob to having a sculpted six pack and muscular arms and legs), Agora Museum (has all of the money/pottery/artwork found in the ancient Roman agora below the Acropolis), and the War Museum (loads of guns, artifacts, Nazi paraphernalia, and crazy Greek military outfits). The best part about these is that most of them are free to students or have student discounts. Also, anyone can get into most of the government-run museums for free on Sundays! Yay, FREE SUNDAYS!
