Thank you to all the members that replied to my posts and helped make my trip amazing. I am hoping my post may help one or two forum members as they plan their trip.
Athens- We spent 3 days in Athens. We did the Acropolis Museum before the Acropolis and I would recommend it to anyone that is visiting the Acropolis. We did travel in the busy season and it was so hot. Ordering the cooling neck wraps from Amazon would be another tip for first-time travelers. The Acropolis and The Temple Zeus required a lot of water.
The Acropolis is worth the crowds. (Make that your mantra and you will be fine.)
We took cabs everywhere and I have to say the cab drivers were the worst part of our trip. Having the hotel call us a cab was the only way to secure an honest cab driver. The hotel informed us how they would try to rip us off and they were right. We had cab drivers refuse to turn on the meter, cab drivers that demanded we get out on the side of the road once we asked why the meter was set for after midnight and cab drivers that pretended they didn't know where they were going. We needed two cabs for our group and there were times one family was charged 5.00 and the next cab charged 12.00. The hotel staff was more than welcome to intervene but it did make it stressful.
Dinner- We ate at the Agora two nights and it was wonderful. My favorite dinner was a Stroffi. The food was great and the view of the Parthenon was beautiful. We did eat at the restaurant on Lycabettus Hill. I would not recommend it. I think the food at Stroffi was better. The view from the Hill is wonderful but the service was awful. 2 Staff members for 14 tables. Dinner was 4 hours. Coming down the hill at night is crazy. The cable car was not available so we walked. It was dark which made it more dangerous. We saw one person fall. Cabs will not go up the Hill to pick you up. We had to call our hotel to get us a cab. The hotel had to call twice in order to get a cab to get us. The Hill is also a hang out for people. People are in the bushes just hanging.
We also ate at http://www.psaras-taverna.gr/. This restaurant was in the Plaka and was also wonderful. The waiter was a gem and made the dining experience even better.
Thanks again to everyone that helped plan our trip.
