Athens, Greece
Things to do & places to see
After the recent Olympics, the city has been reborn and restored to its former glory. You can now explore the city easily, walking from one ancient sight to another via the new network of pedestrian areas and city parks. It all makes seeing the Acropolis and other landmarks so much easier - although the steps up to the temple are just as much of a climb as they were in ancient times.
The ship is moored in port.
