Athens & Peloponnese

Best and worst sights, experiences and destinations:

Worst: Two nights in Delphi
Why: Very tiny boring town and the sites only took half a day. I could have easily done them the afternoon I arrived and left the next morning. The entire second day was by far the most boring time I've spent in Greece

Best: Olympia
Why: well laid-out information. Museum and archaeological site were great.

Worst: Hop In Tours, Athens
Why: see above breach of contract. We paid for a 4 hour tour, and received a poorly-conducted 2 hour tour. Used our guidebook to see the Acropolis on our own, and the Agora, and Mars Hill.

Best: The New Acropolis Museum
Why: Despite missing those infamous Elgin Marbles on the Parthenon level, this was one of our favorite, favorite, favorite museums. The museum is extremely well done, with an excellent floor plan, and we got in for 1 euro/person. (This admission price is good until the end of the year, 2009.) Also, the short movie on the Parthenon, alternating in Greek and English, is fabulous.
