Well, everything is subjective.* Some people absolutely hate Paris with a passion, and I'd move there if I could!

SV would be refering to me, who thinks Paris is the single most overrated city in the world.
However, Athens, I enjoyed. Of course, if Ancient ruins and monuments are not your thing, then yes, I imagine it could be just another big, smelly city. However, my guess is folks whose take on it is that didn't stay in the "Plaka," or tourist district. It's right there within walking distance of all the major sites, has hotels, restaurants, general stores, souvenir shops, etc., all that the traveler might need.
If you're looking to get off the beaten track, though, and don't want such standard fare, well, then yes, I recommend going somewhere other than a place people have been going to visit for more than 2000 years...
