                <description><![CDATA[Athens has a number of important and interesting museums. The Museum of Musical instruments in Plaka may not be on the top of the list, but it is a very pleasant small museum, where you can examine beautifully handcrafted traditional musical instruments, listen to recordings of their sounds and meet the ancestors of the famous bouzouki. The location is tranquil and on the little square next to it (Platanos Square), you will find excellent traditional food (Taverna Platanos), and Rere's cafe, one of the few remaining hangouts for the locals of Plaka, where you can relax over a decent cup of Greek coffee made the way it should be. This is not hip Athens, it is Athens old style.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[There are numerous archaeological sights in Athens, but Keramikos is possibly the most evocative of all. Comprised of a portion of the ancient city walls, the gate of the Iera odos (the road leading to the centre of religious mysticism of the time - Elefsina), the remains of the ancient cemetery and the springs of the river Iridanos, this sight basks in a tranquillity not found at the more frequented sights. Stand at the ancient crossroads at the city gates and look back over the walls towards the dominating rock of the acropolis, whilst the breeze rustles the leaves of the olive trees, and you will see what I mean.]]></description>
