Of all the places I went to in Europe, Greece is probably the place I want to go back to the most. Over ten day, we only had time to see Athens. Athens was awesome, but I'm sure there are cooler places. Here are some ideas for a trip to Greece.Delphi: This is a huge attraction. There are a ton of ancient ruins here, including a stadium, theater, and a couple temples. This was the site of the Delphic oracle, the most important oracle in ancient Greece. The Pythian Games, a precursor to our modern Olympic Games, took place at Delphi. Also, it's in the mountains.
Sounion: Here stands the Temple of Poseidon, which is surrounded by water on three sides. It looks very cool from the pictures I've seen. It's located about a 70 km south of Athens. This would be a good place to see, but it depends on how much time we want to spend in Greece.
The Greek Islands: Definitely a must see if we decided to go back to Greece. The architecture is pretty unique on the islands. Santorini, in particular, would be a good island to visit because it has a lot to offer. It has nice beaches, several churches, museums, a volcano, hot springs, hiking trails, and a good night life. I imagine spending two or three days on this island would be worthwhile. You can find places to stay for as low as €12. There are a couple cities to see, we can spend a day at the beach, check out some night clubs, and eat plenty of gyros. (Yes, the gyros are the real reason I want to go to back to Greece.)

I would like to note that we did not spend 10 days in Athens, it was just a few days spent on our Ten Day trip. This trip also included Pompeii, Piza, Firenze, some smaller villages we happened to have gone through, and some went to Venice.
Yes, thanks for clarifying. We don't want people thinking we're that slow, even with a speed impediment. Also, I don't know if you're trying to block it out of your mind, but we saw Napoli too.
I forgot to add that one and I was thinking that it might look like that but decided that I needed to get off to work. Yes, we did go to Napoli and it was nice except the fact that it wasn't.
