Agree Athens is uninspiring but you go there to see the Acropolis and the Nat. Arch. Museum really. Shame you didn't get down to Piraeus and out by day ferry to a couple of the close islands. Glad you liked your Greece tour If you've had done a 4 day one it would have included Meteora and saved all that time wasted getting there and disappointment at not seeing the monasteries properly.However a good blog - so glad you went there. Look forward to Turkey next. Meanwhile trust that you're loving Spain.XX Mum&Dad
