Spring Break, Greece, Covid 19, and making the best of things!

We decided not to be deterred from our 25th anniversary trip since at the time we left, Greece wasn't on the US restricted list. We departed Dallas, Monday, 3/10 at 7pm and landed Athens Tuesday, 5:30pm. I knew we wouldn't do well with driving in Athens, at night, after our long flight, so on the recommendation of others on this forum, I booked a room with the Arva hotel in Rafina and had the shuttle pick us up. We had a wonderful dinner at the hotel restaurant followed by a good sleep. Day 1 - The breakfast buffet was just as great as others had described. After breakfast we walked around the lovely town until time to check out, take the shuttle back to the airport, and pick up our rental car. We rented from Sixt, also based on the recommendation of others on this site, and thoroughly enjoyed the Audi convertible my husband rented for all our drives across Greece! The convertible made all the driving we did part of the fun! We drove to Delphi, arrived 30 minutes before the museum and site closing times, so too late to enjoy any of the museum or archeological site. We drove a bit further to Galaxidi, based on another forum recommendation, checked into our airbnb, walked to town to eat, strolled the coast and enjoyed the gorgeous sunset, the lazy cats and dogs, and the charm of Galaxidi before bed. Day 2 - We drove back to Delphi to tour the museum and site. The crowds were so thin that everything was easy to see without hordes of people around you. Next on to Meteora! Day 3 - I'm glad I listened to one recommendation on the forum that suggested a visit to just the one, large, Grand monastery could be enough. It was for us. We toured the largest monastery in the morning, left for lunch, and then returned for sunset (another forum recommendation). Meteora was marvelous and amazing! Driving all around the cliffs and seeing each monastery and the views was the perfect day! Day 4 - We drove to Nafplio, enjoying the convertible, the gorgeous scenery, and weather the entire way! The coast of Nafplio was so pretty and we easily walked up and down the marina area and enjoyed the sunset. All restaurants were closed by this time, so we grabbed dinner and took it back to our airbnb for another relaxing evening. Day 5 - Drive to Athens. It was Sunday and though we had planned to make the changing of the guard ceremony at 11am, since the government was shutting everything down, we had no idea if this would still happen. I couldn't find any information about it online, so we were reluctant to wake up early and rush. It did happen and we missed it, but we saw the less elaborate ones later. Still a wonderful experience! We checked into our amazing airbnb, went out and walked to the Acropolis and around it, climbed the Aeropageus (it was freezing), stopped by Hadrian's Arch, found dinner, and came back to enjoy a quiet evening. Day 6 - We chose other free experiences still open to the public: Lykavittos Hill, Filopappou Hill, and tried to make the National Gardens, but ran out of steam :) Instead, we grabbed some lunch and went back for a nap. Later we woke, and went for another walk, and gelato before packing and preparing for our early departure home the next morning. Even with the closings of the museums and restaurants we had a glorious time in Greece and we're so glad we didn't cut short our trip! I'm also so very thankful for all the tips I received from these forums. Our short trip was perfect for us, a blend of relaxation and adventure!
