Did you make it up to Northern Greece at all? Corfu or any of the Ionian Islands? We are debating whether its even worth making the trek all the way up there.

We didn't really have to worry about the party island part of mykonos, because we were there in off season (october) so there weren't that many people there. The ruins on delos was completly worth going there. Way more impressive than Athens. I'll try to get some pictures up for you to see. Santorini is supposed to be really nice though. Wanted to go there too but couldn't. Not sure what the ruins around santorini are like, but could be interesting as it is the island many believe to be atlantis.
Went to corfu, was a nice break, but not sure I would recomend it. Again a bit of a party island (pretty much all pink palace, the most well known resort on the island, is about). Sounds like they have a lot of interesting activities you can do (cliff jumping ect.) and the toga party we went to was fun (greek dancing as entertainment, and had a plate broken on my head), but if you are short on time, unless you want time off, not sure its worth it. My impression might be a bit onesided though because it rained almost the whole time I was there (hard) and my sister had a really bad migraine, so I didn't get that far away from where we were staying.
