Hi all
I'm going to Greece in the next couple of months with my family and wanted to know if anybody had and tips about going to view any of the important sites, or going to see any site that might not be obvious.
I know Jack O'Conner said once here he was willing to give tips about visiting Greece.
What museums would you consider a must to see?
What places in Athens is also a must to see?
thanks
George T
