We will have discretionary time in Athens, so just in case we want to "do" something I bought a Athens Pocket Guide Book from Rick Steves. I actually bought it on Amazon to save the cost of shipping and it was .01 less expensive! (wow) We have used his books multiple times, not just when we took his Best of Europe 21 Days Tour in 2009. We learned things on that trip that have made travel much more interesting and enjoyable. In addition, it completely revolutionized how we pack. I think he is quite the travel guru, though I don't have anything in common with his political beliefs. In fact, I "unfriended" his Facebook travel page when it became annoying... anyway... back to my point. His books are practical, easy to use, help you travel like a local, and generally save time and money. We do have a full day trip scheduled for Corinth but we just might be energetic enough to venture out on some of our free days. So, now we are set.

We really loved his Rome pocket book you gave us!
