Soliciting opinions from blogland - Is it crazy to plan a trip to Greece with a toddler?

Greece is at the top of our *must do* list. We REALLY want to go. We'd like to go for about 10 days. I don't think that I'll be ready to go on a 10 day trip with out James Ryan, ever, or at least until he's in college:)
We're thinking of booking a trip for Summer 2008. We know we want to go in the summer and can't go this summer. Although it's 15 months from now, I think it would be fun to start planning now. It's nice to have a big vacation to look forward to. If we go in July or August 2008, James Ryan will be a full fledged toddler (22 or 23 months) and I don't know what that's like, so is it crazy to plan this trip?
I know that it will be more difficult than traveling as a couple, but it will be easier than traveling with two young children. I'm not sure if and when we'll have two, but it's a consideration.
Some of the trip will be sight seeing (about 2 days in Athens) and the rest will be relaxing on the Islands.
Tell me what you really think.

We just went to Mexico with a 14 month old, as you know. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't bad. It's much better than going with 2 kids! That would be tough. We had a lot of walking to do so that was tiring but that's all, with her strapped to our backs. By then he'll be walking, so that's a plus! Sleeping was difficult for us, she wasn't a great sleeper there, but we just went to bed early, sometimes 9:30 and got up early. Definitely a different kind of vacation but still well worth it!
