Dear friends, I just wanted to let you know that this weather is not normal in Greece, it is an extreme heatwave, so make sure you take precautions, like not going up on the Acropolis at mid-day, not making the tour of the centre of Athens on foot today, etc. I am saying this, because tourists expect Greece to be warm, so sometimes they don't realize this is something out of the ordinary, they think, "well, this is what Greece is supposed to be like, Greeks live here all the time, so we can make it too". But Greeks have been very careful for the past week, the TV says to stay in an air-conditioned area, we don't go out if we don't have to. This is an extreme temporary phenomenon. Fortunately, it will be better tomorrow and during the week-end we'll be fine. Go to the sea if you can, but wear a hat and sun-cream.
