How Much Things Cost in Athens

With the US Dollar floundering against the Euro you may want to get some idea of what you will pay for certain items on your trip to Greece. Prices are in Euros. One Euro = about $1.55 but you may want to check this when you get to Athens. Banks post the official rates.
