Athens, Greece is mostly dry and dusty. It is a sprawling city, essentially without skyscrapers. Its beauty lies in the climbs and the views from its two main hills; the Acropolis (on which the Parthenon and other ancient temples sit), and Likabettos, on top of which there is a monastery. The Athens Museum contains many famous artifacts and statues (especially Agamemnon's golden death mask). Some good eateries are in the Plaka district, near the Parthenon. Shopping for trinkets, clothing and various other souvenirs can be a bit of fun in the Monasteraki district.

The general rule of thumb is to start out touring Athens, and end up on a cruise to the islands of the Dodecanese.
