Athens, Greece
Kathy and I traveled first to Europe for several weeks after completing my two-year, Peace Corps stint in Africa. One of our favorite cities was Athens. We’ve been back only once since then, and it was terrific. It’s a city we will travel to again.
What I Like About Athens
All 10 of the following must-see tourist sites:
* Acropolis * Acropolis Museum * Parthenon * Ancient Agora and Temple of Hephaestus * Theatre of Dionysus * Tower of the Winds in the Roman Agora * views from Mount Lycabettus * Panathenaic Stadium * Church of Panagia Kapnikarea * Philopappos Hill Plus… * Plaka (a very cool neighborhood) * drinks at a rooftop bar at the end of the day * Kerameikos (if you like cemeteries) * National Archaeological Museum (if you like ancient architecture)
