after a late night arrival, i am reading up on the sights and everything i would like to see and cursing the person who told me that athens could be seen in 2 days. there is a ton of history, a ton of sights, beyond the Acropolis, a ton of activities like outside cinema, rembetika club, show at Theatre of Dionysus...
