"My Country" Greece by sinequanon

Greece Travel Guide: 34,385 reviews and 74,386 photos

"If you take Greece apart, in the end you will see remaining an olive tree, a vineyard, and a ship. Which means: with just so much you can put her back together again."
O. Elytis

Vathia-The Mani

"In Greece, light and history are one and the same thing, meaning that the one reproduces the other, the one interprets and justifies the other, even the void which is blackness; because this country, by offering equality of ethical and physical values, does not happen to know any other chiaroscuro." O. Elytis

Water buffaloes-Lake Kerkini

People relax, loosen up when they come to Greece. And this is a fact I have experienced over and over again. Maybe it is the sun or the wind or the sea or the sweet summer nights or the way of life or the Greeks themselves or even a combination of all these things.

But you have to try yourselves to find out! You are welcome!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Paradise!
Cons:Hell!
In a nutshell:How can these two be together? Well they can in Greece! Land of Miracles!

As long as I remember, aloe is for wearing, not for drinking. Maybe that was my problem in Fla =)

I'm already looking forward to seeing your country next year - althought it won't be Carnival time. But isn't a VT-meeting something in between Carnival and the madhouse ;o)

Yes, I'll be in Greece for Easter vacation. I'm looking forward to everything but the food, so am now searching for the best Chinese restaurant in Athens. Opa!
