An Historical Hotel of America, the Hotel Monteleone is celebrating its 125 anniversary this year. What a great time to visit New Orleans or revisit it if you have not been there since Katrina.
From their website: It’s been said that the French Quarter begins in the lobby of the Hotel Monteleone. In fact, this venerable establishment sits majestically at the foot of Royal Street. giving guests the best point of departure for all things New Orleans. Visitors need only step outside to discover shop after shop of fabulous European antiques, estate jewelry, Oriental rugs, and art and antiquities from around the world. Quaint restaurants and specialty shops line the cobblestone French Quarter streets that lead to Jackson Square, the Old French Market and the River Walk where tourists and native New Orleanians stroll the levee and watch the steamboats and barges along the Mississippi River. You’ll find history around every corner.

Most of us fly into Greece or cruise in. Athens airport has an easy connector service into "town." By ship, try Louis Cruise Lines with its smaller ships that can get into the harbors of most islands.
