We flew into Athens and stayed in a great Airbnb condo that was in between the port and the Acropolis. Great central location with views of the city and the water.
I have always wanted to see the Acropolis and it didn't disappoint. The museum is one of the best I've been to. Below the Acropolis is a great little European style walking neighborhood with shops and restaurants and ruins strewn in between. This is what I expected Athens to be like. Unfortunately, most of the rest of it is a concrete jungle erected post war era. We had 4 days in Athens and seen everything in 2 days. So we took a day trip by ferry to Aegina which was just what we needed.
From there Naxos then Santorini and back to Athen. In hind sight, I think we could have spent only two days on Santorini and visited another island.
