Let's divide things into three categories: Athens, mainland sights and the island experience.
Then there is the "island experience." Greece is such a maritime nation and the islands are another world. Consider a ferry to Iydra, or flying to Myconos, Thira or Patmos. |
Either in or out of Athens, you should have the official dining experience: outdoors, with friends, take forever, etc. The colors and the charm in cyclidic architecture. The pace of life in a village Take a ferry. The physical beauty of the landscape. All the layers of history, not just the ancients. And most of all, you must travel as an adventure and without schedule. |
