greece

One of the destinations that has always near the top of my list has been Greece. I wanted to stroll the streets, take in the sights, linger in the cafes, walk in the vineyards, swim in the oceans and otherwise enjoy the classical setting. It is beautiful! And easy to travel in! Now if there were a way to own a bed and breakfast here.....



Athens....where to start...touching the aging rock of the Parthenon...watching the Acropolis light up at sunset from the top of Mt. Likavitos...standing on Mars Hill thinking about Paul...having Greek Salad on a rooftop on Cape Sounion at dusk...watching folk dances then strolling back to the hotel through masses of people out late at night for their own stroll...oh my...not just another big city.

Were it not for the enticement of Santorini and other islands on the way, I may have stayed longer.



Ah....the oft-photographed calendar-perfect Santorini! Only better in person.




















Samaria Gorge...11 mile hike ending on the seashore...
