GREECE
Anywhere you may walk in Greece, you will discover that either a god or a famous man was born or created on that particular soil.
Athens’ Acropolis has the Parthenon that is the symbol of the magnificent Greek civilization, the cradle of the western civilization, while Meteora’s mysterious monasteries hanging from the sky represent the Christian spirit of the original church.
Greece’s islands are full of hoards of sun-starved Northern Europeans swarming their beaches, all tasting a little bit from this cauldron of common culture that we inherited from the Greeks.
The North-Eastern Islands with Samothraki (Victory), Lesvos, Chios (Homer), Inousses, and Samos (Pythagoras/Herra). The South-Eastern part of the Aegean Sea has “The Dodecanese” islands with Patmos (St John the Evangelist), Kos (Hypocrites) and Rhodes (The knights of St John). The Cyclades in the central part of the sea with Mykonos (white churches), the holy Delos, Paros (for all the Greek marble used e.g. for Venus of Milo), Naxos (Ariadne), and Santorini (volcanos). South of all is Crete of the Minoan civilization destroyed by the volcano eruption with its myth about the Minotaur, Ariadne, and Theseus. (Metsovo, Pind Mountains)
