    We need more trip reports. Thanks for the post.

    As for Athens, do you think it would be a good place to take a teen & a pre-teen (my daughters) for spring break? I take them somewhere, just the 3 of us, each spring break. Our biggest drivers are seats up front and $70 or less hotels. After that I'm looking for safe public transport and something educational. I'm thinking ATH has history in spades.

    Absolutely!
    Our daughter(10 years old) got such a great history lesson on this trip. The prices were reasonable for Europe.
    The metro, bus, and tram systems are very clean and safe.
    The food is awesome!!!

    I rarely like to repeat destinations because there are so many places I still want to visit, but we will return to Athens within the next year.

    Good stuff to know, thanks. The exchange rate is a killer these days, so finding reasonably priced hotels can be tricky. We are looking for something different next year and I think ATH could be it.

    Mrs767er: Maybe spring break next year. I can live with flying in the back, but who wouldn't want to be up front?
