Delphi was amazing (it's a good amount of walking). The drive alone was interesting and pretty. The recent NYT article on Athens has pinpointed the new emerging spot for dining in Athens. The concierge at the GB had good suggestions as well.
The GB was terrific. I'd probably use FHR or Virtuouso to get a slightly better room confirmed.
Do you know which room type you had? We have a Junior Suite on points with SNAs pending for our first stay and for our second 1 night stay we booked an Acropolis View room. I've only heard good things about GB.
