Athens, Greece: September is a Great Time to Visit

Our correspondent and discerning traveler Jon Allen, owner of Island House Key West, the fantastic gay men’s guesthouse located in the Conch Republic, sent us this update from a recent visit to Greece.

Athens as a destination has been transformed by preparations for the Olympics held there in 2004.  The whole city has been cleaned up, a beautiful Metro opened, and scores of new hotels, museums, and attractions are on offer.  Athens now deserves a visit itself, instead of just being a stopover on the way to the Islands.

The listings follow.
