Thanks you for the Like on my Lamb Shank post. I loved your Pictures of Greece. I am going to Greece this spring with my Girlfriend for 2 weeks. I enjoyed seeing the pictures of Athens where we will be spending a week, where would you recommend going to eat/see in Athens?
I am totally in love with Greece! What a natural beauty and food paradise!
In preparing for the trip I primarily followed advice from Matt Barrett’s website; it turned out to be spot-on: http://www.greektravel.com/
Athens was probably our least favorite place; I am unsure if it merits a 1-week stay. I would say, logistically it makes sense to start your trip there, and to finish it (2, or maximum 3 days should be plenty). From Athens, we hired a driver to take us to Meteora and Delphi, which is nothing short of amazing. My absolute favorite of the trip was the island of Crete where we spent a week (not enough time!).
To answer your question, in Athens you’ll want to do the obvious: go to the National Archeological museum, Acropolis, hang out in the Plaka, walk to the top of Lycabettos hill, etc. You should definitely read the Athens portion of the above free guide: http://www.athensguide.com/

Thanks for the like! We spent our honeymoon in Greece! Most of it on Santorini. Looks like you were there as well? Can’t wait to get back!
Indeed we were!
My retirement plans involve a goat farm on Crete (and I am only half-joking).
FANTASTIC food photos! Looks delicious. =)
