Athens is amazing with the Acropolis and the many other sites to see. The city is huge and we were so fortunate to have a hotel near everything and within walking distance. We found it difficult to get information about tourist areas so not as easy as some cities.
The Theatre of Dionyssos at the Acropolis with the seats made of marble.
The Temple of Olympian Zeus
Looking up at the Ayios Georgios Chapel at the top of Mt. Lycabettus. we climbed stairs 1/2 way up until there was a tram to take us the rest of the journey. GREAT EXERCISE.
The Archaeological Museum was fabulous and took a few hours to enjoy.
The Jewelry Museum is also a popular stop in Athens.
The guards outside the Grave of the Unknown Solider at theParliament Building.
May 2nd Labour Day - everything comes to a halt as the labour union demonstrate in the streets. Just about everything is closed not a good day to be in Greece! Just about a wasted day for us as we waited for the bus for over an hour. It started to run after lunch so we got in a couple hrs of site seeing.

May 1st was the Labour Day over here and we were told to stay home because there could be some nasty protests. Apparently there were so they shut down the tram. But I didn't see anything different than usual in Sultanahmet! So I feel your pain! ; )
