我们再次搭Metro地铁到Monastiraki站。我原本以为Monastiraki 站只是在早上热闹而已，没想到太阳下山了人群变得更多了。尤其是车站旁的Monastiraki 广场(Monastiraki Square)，这里更是人潮济济。
Monastiraki 就在Acropolis 的山脚下，所以即使是深夜了还是会看到很多游客出来夜游。早上的Monastiraki因为当地的跳蚤市场和一些店口而热闹；晚上的Monastiraki又因为餐厅和美食热闹起来。Monastiraki 附近有好多间的餐馆，但这里卖的食物都是以烧烤为主，每一间的Menu都差不多一样。如果想尝试比较不一样的餐厅，可以到后面的另一条街去。那里就是Plaka, 也是夜生活的中心点。
We took Metro to Monastiraki Station again on the same night. Monastiraki Square is always crowded with people in the day time, and even at night. Monastiraki Square is located next to Monastiraki Station.
Monastiraki is always a busy town. It’s busy in the morning due to the local flea market; at night this place turns to be a food paradise. Furthermore, Acropolis is just nearby. Here you could find plenty of restaurants serving authentic Greek food. Almost all restaurants serve the same menu, most are grilled food. If you want to try something different, try to look for restaurant at Plaka. Plaka is well known for its night life.
Monastiraki 广场。随着夜色来临，这里的人群越来越多。这里是吃晚餐的好去处，除此之外也是夜生活的中心点。喜欢到处逛逛的朋友也不需担心，我个人觉得这里是蛮安全的。即使天已黑了，到处还是有很多游客爬山看夜景。This is Monastiraki Square. It’s quite safe to take a slow walk at here after night falls.
我后面最左边的建筑物是土耳其教堂。Behind me (on the most left) is a Turkish temple.
这就是Monastiraki 广场旁的一整排餐馆。来到这里就会被餐馆的老板和接待员热情的推荐他们的餐馆，大家都在忙着拉生意。这里的人很热情，你可以尽情的慢慢survey一下想吃什么或想在那一家吃。餐牌都摆在店外，就在走廊旁边。如果店员太热情你又不好意思拒绝的话，可以告诉他们你的吃饭时间还早，待回再决定。他们都很乐意一一地为你解释菜单的。我在right side角头间吃了两次，这里的牛肉souvlaki很棒！These are the restaurants located next to Monastiraki Square. Most restaurant owners and waiters are very warmth and friendly. Just take your time to browse through the entire menus placed along the walkway, and decide what to have for dinner later. They are happy to go through the menu thoroughly with you. We went to the first restaurant on the right for twice! They served the most juicy and tasty beef souvlaki!
由于我们刚吃了了一个Pita，肚子还没饿，所以我们就沿着一整排餐馆的路一直向前走。小华常说跟着大队走准没错，真的也！就这样给我们乱走、乱闯竟然来到了Acropolis的正山脚下。虽然Acropolis在7点傍晚关门，但由于很多历史建筑物都是建立在opened area，只要走过就可以看到希腊的历史古迹了，根本不用买票进门观赏。我们路过Hadrian’s Library 和 Roman Agora (都在山脚下)，然后再爬上Acropolis半山看整个雅典城市的夜景。山坡是蛮斜的，出了很多力气才走上去。未到Acropolis前有个山崖，可以和一群人坐在一起看雅典夜景，蛮不错的经验。雅典的夜景很漂亮，很可惜我们没带相机脚架上去，没办法拍到美丽的夜景。
We passed by the restaurants and continued walking to Acropolis. Unfortunately Acropolis was closed after 7pm, so we managed to see only a few historical monuments around the area, such like Hadrian’s Library and Roman Agora (both are located downhill). We also went half way up to the hill to enjoy the night view of Athens. The night scenery of Athens was absolutely gorgeous! Too bad we didn’t bring tripod with us, or we could snap more pictures on that night.
左边的建筑物就是Hadrian’s Library。右边远方很光亮的地方就是山顶上的Acropolis。天一转黑，这里的名胜地都会被大灯照着。Acropolis因为位于上顶上，无论是白天还是夜晚，都可以在很远的地方看到它。即使在Syntagma 广场哪儿也可以看到这个这个壮观的历史古迹。The building on the left is Hadrian’s Library. On the far right (the brightest area on top of the hill) is Acropolis. You could always see Acropolis from far, as far as from Syntagma Square.
这个是Gate of Athena Archegetis，位于Roman Agora的范围内。This is the Gate of Athena Archegetis, located at Roman Agora.

虽然只是爬到半山而已，但真的用了我们全部的力气，不得不认真的老了，心有余而力不足。刚好走下山时肚子也饿了，我们在Monastiraki广场旁找了一间餐馆享受我们的第一顿希腊式晚餐。
We spent all the energy walking up to the hill. By the time we went down, we were starving. We went back to one of the restaurants next to Monastiraki Square, and decided to have our first authentic Greek dinner there.

不耐烦地等待晚餐的到来。。。Waiting for dinner impatiently…
这是希腊的道地食物 – Moussaka。口感像意大利的lasagna，同样是用牛肉碎，特制的cream和pasta烘成的。虽然使用多种香料煮成的，但牛肉骚味还是蛮重的 ！This is one of the authentic Greek food – Moussaka. It tasted like lasagna. Baked with minced beef, special made cream and pasta.
这也是希腊的道地食物 – Souvlaki。上面是一串串的kebab牛肉，下面是Pita 面包，再配上生番茄及生大葱，赞！这家餐厅的牛肉kebab一流，一口咬下去后牛肉汁会在口里喷出来！平常少吃牛肉的我都超级爱上这家的牛肉串烧！想念！This is another authentic Greek food – Souvalaki (pronounce as Sou-La-Gy/Gi). It is served with beef kebab, a Pita bread at the bottom, some sweet tomatos and freshly sliced onions. It tasted super good! The beef was so juicy and sweet! Although I don’t really fancy beef, I love beef kebab from this restaurants!! Miss it!
开始咯！
I love Moussaka, yummy!
就是这家餐厅。在希腊第一天的晚餐是在这里解决的，在希腊最后一天的晚餐也是在这里享用。太爱吃这家的牛肉串烧了！We enjoy our first dinner in Greece here, we came back to have the last dinner in Greece here too! Love their beef souvlaki, so juicy and tasty!!
