Barack Obama and family spotted touring ancient ruins in Greece

Barack Obama and his family were spotted kicking off their summer this week as they soaked up the ancient ruins of Greece.

The 61-year-old ex-prez toured the historic Acropolis site in Athens on Wednesday with wife Michelle and their daughters, Malia, 24, and Sasha, 22, in tow.

The former first lady, 59, wore a khaki jumpsuit, white crocheted coverup and sneakers for their tour of the ancient ruins.

At one point during the tour, the former president — who opted for white chinos and a blue button-down — was pictured palming his wife’s butt as he gave her a helping hand up the stairs.

He was also spotted snapping photos on his phone as the family took in the more than 3,000-year-old landmark.

The couple’s smiling daughters tailed closely behind their parents and, at one point, appeared to clutch each other’s hands mid-conversation.

The elder daughter was spotted wearing a dark skirt and tank top combo, while her sister, Sasha, was dressed in jeans and a purple tube top.

The Obamas and their girls are in Athens for an Obama Foundation event.

“Michelle and I started the @ObamaFoundation to support the next generation of leaders creating sustainable change in their communities,” the former president tweeted on Tuesday.

“This week, I’ll be joining our Obama Leaders in Greece where we’ll share ideas and dive deeper into the work they’re doing.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if the family had more tourist items on their agenda, or if they were headed to another European destination after their Greece jaunt.
