Answer:
Athens Parthenon (with new museum at the Parthenon) Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Corinth: Corinth is a city about an 1 hour and a 1/2 from Athens. It is where the Corinthian canal is. You can take a cruise throughout the canal (the way the canal was made is quite amazing). Since Corinth has more of a city feel, you can take a drive to a nearby town: Loutraki. Loutraki is known for its beaches and especially its Casino. Loutraki is also next to the mountains so you get a perfect location out of it--beach, taverns, hotels, nightlife, cafes, mountains...all in a small town setting. Southern Greece: Olympia This is where the Olympic torch was first lit. You can also race on the first track that they used in the Olympics Delphi This is where the Oracle of Delphi is. Delphi is in the Peloponnese peninsula, in a region surrounded my olive trees--lovely views. Northern Greece: Meteora This is quite interesting because this attraction is in the center of Greece. There are these five gigantic rocks that are as tall as city skyscrapers that are in the middle of this field. No one knows how they got there but now they built monasteries on top of the rocks. They built stairways to get up them since you can't drive. It's very interesting so if you're cruising throughout Greece, this would be a great place to stop. Ioannina Before you go there, you can go to Ioannina where there are these caves. You can go through the caves and even take boat rides through. It's very cool. Halkidiki They call this the three fingers in northern Greece. This is past Thessaloniki (the second largest city in Greece) and you can find great beaches in this year. At the tip of one of these fingers is Mount Athos which is the center of Greek Orthodoxy. This is a private, self-governed area. There are monasteries (not only Greek, but Russian Orthodox as well). Only men are allowed in this area but they offer boat rides up and down the coast for women to view the area as well. I went there and it is a great area and a great boat ride. Islands There are so many Greek islands to choose from. Greece gets very hot in the summer so many Greeks flee the cities to go to a beachfront location. Islands are the top choice. Here are some of the most popular (and where they'd know the most English): Santorini--this is where all those photos of the white-wash houses and blue skies are taken, though so many places in Greece offer the same scenery Mykonos Crete Corfu (also known as Kerkyra) Aegina--near Athens, only a short boat ride away

Hellio sight-seing over the riots zones ! Official US Embassy report : The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries” have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time” in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade. N17 terrorists murdered 23 people, including five U.S. Government employees. Strikes and demonstrations are a regular occurrence. Greece is a stable democracy and these activities for the most part are orderly and lawful. However, a wave of incidents started when a teenager was shot and killed in an encounter with the police in December 2008. Incidents occurred throughout Greece, but the primary sources of violence were in Athens and Thessaloniki, Protestors there engaged in violent confrontations with the police and carried out destructive vandalism and rioting in localized areas, some of which are areas frequented by tourists, injuring numerous police officers. Riot control procedures often include the use of tear gas. Visitors should keep abreast of news about demonstrations from local news sources and hotel security. When there are demonstrations, visitors should be aware of and avoid places where demonstrators frequently congregate, such as the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki. The Omonia and Exharchia areas of Athens are at particular risk for crime and politically-motivated violence; U.S. Embassy personnel and their families have been urged strongly to avoid these areas between 9 pm and dawn.

Every evening I go in the neighborhood at Why Not Cafe in Athens. Grek boys are offering themselves to us, Albanian workers. They beg: Lets play marmango, sir. (Marmango is Grek national gay dance.)
