Athens

I was asked the other day what there was to do in Athens for two days. Well how do you respond to a question like that?

It is blatantly obvious that there are the two main hills in Athens each of which you can climb to see the sights below laid out in front of you. One of them at least contains many historical artifacts and of course surrounding them is both the ancient and the modern metropolis. One can of course also play the tourist and eat and shop in the Plaka, watch the changing of the guard in front of the palace at Syntagma Square, wander the broad boulevardes and enjoy the atmosphere and of course there is always a trip to Cape Sunion to see the temple at sunset.

What I enjoy about Athens is sitting in a café and watching the world go by, but of course I don't have to go to Athens to enjoy this - it can be enjoyed anywhere you are. There are museums to visit and archaeological sites to view. However if you want my advice eat drink and be merry - this is Greece!
