I must agree with Ms. Ball, save for the two following exceptions.
In Naples, I would go to Herculaneum; most tourists don't even know that
it exists and we were fortunate that it was available to us. It is a
much smaller community than Pompeii and, as a consequence you get a much
better "feeling" for the type of life the doomed inhabitants of this
town lived. Secondly, being a much smaller community, you get to see
much more of it.
In Athens, if it's on your itinerary & should time permit, try to visit
the Temple of Poseidon. I am sure that there are photos of the area on
the Internet, to lure you to this wonderful spot.
Have a wonderful time!
