| Athens is one of the most ancient and interesting
         cities to visit. Be prepared to barter / negotiate for just
         about anything you buy. Never pay the asking price of any
         street vendor, and discuss the fare with any taxi drivers
         before the trip begins. Spend some time in the Plaka, or old
         market district of town, to get the feel of old Athens. It's
         a city that never stops. Spend a night at the Plaka
         Hotel. |
