This is my favourite place for sushi and Korean food. It's not the fanciest place in town but the food is great and it's always full of Korean/Japanese travelers and businessmen. Upstairs they have a traditional Japanese dining area with low tables.

Sightseeing
Because it's the Acropolis! The temples are 2500 years old and still standing, still breathtaking. If you're looking for where European architecture came from, this is the place. Don't go there midday, you'll get scorched.
