3 Days In the Dungeon

We arrived in Athens last night around 11:30pm. We missed the last metro to our hostel and had to haggle with cab drivers at the port offering prices double that of the listed fares. We got to the hostel and checked into what the receptionist described as the dungeon. It's really a basement which holds 10 beds, but since it has no windows, it's not considered to be desirable and is thus called the dungeon. I hope the receptionist continues to try and talk people out of the dungeon for the remainder of our stay because it's dark and quiet and we only have one roommate. :)
