Where to go in Athens

[Peterc]

Hi there, my brother lives on the coast just outside Athens. I am getting my passport sorted out next month and plan on spending 2 weeks with him and his family. Any advice on what I can see there and how much things such as meals cost over there?

Well, the Acropolis, and the Plaka, and the museums. I liked the Byzantine museum.

One of my favorite places near there was a little island called Aegina. It was about two hours from Pireus by ferry. It was beautiful, and the day we went, we were the only tourists there.

I have not been there for a while (17 years) however the Beach man that is the place to go. When I was there you had to pay to get on the beach (the good beaches). I think it was Ano Voula or some place south of Athens kind of like near Glyfada. Oh yes and the night life of Glyfada I hear is fun just use a cab to get around or a designated driver.

I also recommend going to the beaches and museums. Of course, there's a lot to do, and you have to choose based on your personal interests.
