Y/N POV
The next morning I barely realize we had to get up early for the tour since I'm so excited for it. I'm practically bouncing in excitement as I pull on a simple t-shirt and some shorts. Lizzie packs up a bag with water, hats and our sunglasses while I watch. She looks up and smiles when she notices the excitement running through my body. I'm so focused on her smile that I don't notice her hands coming towards my face with sunscreen on them until it's too late. I whine as she rubs in onto my face and neck. I let her rub it over my arms too before I squirm away and run towards the door.

"Slow down bug, we are on time. No need to rush." She calls after me when I reach the door.

"But I wanna see all the temples and stuff!" I explain.

"I know you do, let's go." She concedes and allows me to tug her out of the hotel.

"So we are doing what I want to do today. Let's do what you want to do tomorrow." I decide.

"So all day in bed?" She teases and I giggle.

"For someone so pure and innocent you are very naughty." I whisper before kissing her lips a couple times.

Since we have a private tour we are starting near our hotel. We meet up with our tour guide Alec who is very nice and we make our way to the first stop, The Temple of Olympian Zeus. I'm in complete awe when we make it there and Lizzie squeezes my hand knowing I'm losing my shit on the inside. "This temple is one of the most famous marble buildings of the ancient world. It took over 600 years to be completed and had 104 columns originally. Now the temple is obviously not what it once used to be due to various reasons including storms and earthquakes which caused the people of Athens to think bad things were going to happen. There was also a barbarian invasion that led to vandalism of the temple and now 16 of the original columns remain, 1 of which lays on the ground. Now Zeus, the god the temple was made for, was known for his lightening bolt but more importantly he was the god of the sky. He is the ruler of the gods and father of both gods and humans. His wife was Goddess Hera but he is also known for his many love affairs with other goddesses and even humans. Apollo and Artemis are two of his children along with Persephone, Athena, Ares, Hephaestus, and Dionysus to name a few more. It is also important to note that the Olympics were held each year in honor of Zeus as well. Any questions?" He asks once he completes his explanation.

We both shake our heads and Lizzie squeezes my hand as I snap a bunch of photos

We head to the Acropolis to see the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechteion, the Propylaea and the Theater of Dionysus. The first stop though is the Theater of Dionysus.
