Santorini looks amazing. But I've always been curious about the actual vacation experience. It seems like a place that's overrun with tourists and where every business is geared towards capturing the tourist dollar a la Venice (overpriced restaurants, gift shops, etc.).

Athens looks cool but I was actually excited to see glimpses of the actual city. Maybe not as picturesque but curious if you experienced the areas outside the Acropolis and what you thought of it. I've always been fascinated by Athens, a city that was so grand back in the day but, by the early 19th century was a backwater town of only a few thousand.
