I went to athens and the islands with a good greek friend so I dont know the name of anything – she guided us. we had a lovely meal in athens by the harbor – otherwise athens was a little disappointing. cindym’s recommendation of visiting the other islands is right on. we also hit paros and anteparos and mykonos (very touristy but very fun). the food was amazing – you just point to the seafood you want, and they grill it with lemon and olive oil. so simple, but perfect. every beach has its own taverna – the food was very good at all the ones we went to, you can just lounge and play backgammon, or just drink in the shade. hard to go wrong anywhere in the islands. just make sure you can drive stick if you’re renting a car. the hills can be precarious.
