Looks like I'm in the minority! Having been to both Rome and Athens, for me it's no contest, Athens absolutely!
I'm glad I saw Rome and all the history that goes with it, but I have no desire to return to see more. Actually I thought it was very dirty.Although St Peters was beautiful, I have a problem with all that wealth and the pope telling all Catholics to keep having kids while there are so many poor starving kids all over the world. I couldn't help but think that while there, kinda made me sick.
Athens was awesome with all of it's history. I was in awe of the Acropolis and all. Since we went to Ancient Corinth that day too. we didn't see all of Athens, thus I want to go back to see more.
As far as Italy is concerned, I would rather go back to Florence and Naples/Amalfy coast. JMO
