» franfolsom - Athens: Touring the Acropolis

I've never been to Greece but after reading your article I'm ready to pack my bags and hop on a plane. When I do go I would like to spend some time walking around the Acropolis. Is that possible?

Yes, and it's definitely the way to appreciate it. Even if you begin with a tour -- not a bad thing to do, since you'll get a lot of the history that way -- it's good to just wander around an absorb it all on your own.

I'm reading a book called The Three Junes, it starts off in Santorini, which sounds wonderful. Have you ever visited Naxos? Or tasted kafess tou pahgoo (Greek ice coffee)?

I've not been to Naxos, but I have been to Santorini, and I've had the iced coffee. Santorini is heavily touristed, but I'd advise anyone to go there. The physical appearance of it is fantastic -- the harbor is a huge collapsed crater and the town sits along the rim, looking down (straight down) into it. There is a fascinating archaeological site you can visit there, too.

I had heard that Santorini is a tourist mecca. When I do go to Greece I would like to visit Naxos as I hear it is truly a special island.
