Yes to all of these. I love the National Archaeological Museum - it is one of my favorite places because there are a ton of artifacts here.

Agreed. I think the National Archaeological Museum is probably the best museum in Greece. The architecture is just stunning and it really showcases the artifacts so well. It's one of the greatest modern buildings in Athens. It's a must visit for tourists
 

Favorite Sunsets in Athens?

I am looking forward to seeing Athens again soon. Do you have a favorite sunset spot? My two favorites are Filopappou Hill and the area around the Acropolis. I am looking for some more ideas - I have a great camera and when I go to Greece, I love taking photos around sunset - even better if there is a great view of the sunset itself.

Athens airport question...

There's a group of us going to Athens and our flights get in the same day, but at different times.

Is there an easy spot to wait for the rest of our group outside of security, like a cafe or restaurant, or even an area with chairs to sit... I have only been to this airport once, and I don't remember any details about what happens after security.

List of Things to Do in Piraeus

I am staying in Piraeus for a few nights while waiting to board a ship. Thought I'd brainstorm some things to do:

- Take a day cruise to one of the local islands - like Aegina
- Take public transport to the Plaka area and maybe even see the Parthenon again - I have done this so many times but I love it
- Maybe rent a car to explore around on my own? Do something like head to Sounion for the Temple of Poseidon and visit the beach that's there?

What would you guys do if you were me?

Piraeus Archaeological Museum

I am going to spending some time in the Piraeus area for a night or so this fall before boarding a ferry. I decided to stay closer to the port rather than in the center of Athens. I noticed that there was a museum in Piraeus! Is this worth visiting? I have never heard of it. I imagine it maybe would have artifacts from nearby digs?

Visiting Temple of Poseidon

I will be in Athens and I want too spend some time at the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio.

We will be staying near (or in) Glyfada - I forget where.

I was told you just need to take a taxi or something? I won't be renting a car and plan to just take the metro and taxis while in the city. It won't be long, then I am moving on.
