Plaka: Travel: What to see?

What should you see in Greece?

Of course there are a million things to see and do in any nation, but there are some obvious high points. Let's divide our list into places to see and attributes of how you should see.

Places

Attributes

Athens, of course, focusing on:
	The Acropolis / Agora complex
	The National Museum
	Either the Benaki Museum or the Museum of Cycladic Art.
	The funky charm of the Plaka

You should go to an island, preferably by boat. (As for example: Iydra, Myconos, Thira or Patmos.)

That's the short list. I'd suggest you build a trip around that, and then consider adding one or more of the following:
	The Corinith / Mycenae / Epidaurus day trip from Athens.
	The Delphi day trip from Athens.
	Some appreciation of the Byzantine period.

Either in or out of Athens, you should have the official dining experience: outdoors, with friends, take forever, etc.

The colors and the charm in cyclidic architecture.

The pace of life in a village

Take a ferry.

The physical beauty of the landscape.

All the layers of history, not just the ancients.

And most of all, you must travel as an adventure and without schedule.
