If you ever have to choose between going to Athens and going to Istanbul, choose Istanbul. No contest. Athens is expensive and a little gritty, also FULL of other tourists. And the cops there wear the craziest, scariest looking uniforms I've ever seen.
I guess you can probably tell I wasn't entirely impressed with Athens, but it didn't really matter since we were only there a few hours. Just long enough to take the subway from the airport to the city center, climb up to the Acropolis, have a snack and head back.
The snack was the highlight really, a delicious pork gyro, full of tzatziki and fatty goodness. With a decanter of house white wine. Yes, that was wonderful. The acropolis was pretty cool too.
