     Finally completed all. Very impressive. Lots of information over a huge area. Your photographs are incredible. A daunting task.
    Kuznetsov_Sergey Wed Jun 11, 2008 08:02 UTC
     Great updates since February when I visited this page last. Excellent page! Especially I liked local customs tips with the names of Greek songs, artists and dances. I've listened many of them and watched on YouTube with great pleasure. Thanks, Nikos!

     The detail in your tips is amazing! Great to have such a wealth of information available, keep it up!
    JLBG Wed May 21, 2008 04:09 UTC
     It is fine to find lesser known places on your page, together with the “classical” places!Ionian islands are the one I prefer! Your page brings a wealth of information on every aspect!
