In between meetings: Acropolis challenge with zero prep
On their most recent travels around the globe, Ideoli Co-Founders George Stroumboulis and Chris Hartswick found themselves in Athens, Greece. Since it was Chris’s first-time visiting Greece, the duo decided to do what every tourist would do in Athens– climb the Acropolis on a two-hour break between meetings.
Climbing to the top of the Acropolis is no easy task. Sitting at more than 490 feet above sea level, the top of the hill provides a beautiful view of the city, marvelous ancient ruins, and is a true test of endurance. Faced with steep inclines, uneven pathways, and a variety of stairs, the trip to the top can be a true challenge for the everyday person. Layer in 90-degree weather and all black clothing like George and Chris did, and you are in for “loads of fun.”
Although the more than 6,000-step journey was a challenge, Chris and George faced it head on with determination. Much like every task at Ideoli, the team comes together to accomplish any task at hand and the Acropolis was no different.
Until next time Athens! Be sure to stay tuned for more glimpses into our future Ideoli travels.
