Athens
An Ancient, Byzantine, Ottoman, and modern mosaic.
Athens is
a large modern city which houses about 40% of the Greek population.
As such it is a busy city with lively streets, a full cultural
calendar, and a healthy nightlife. Any tour of Greece must include
some of the archaeological sites and museums. More about Athens...
Parga
Parga is a picturesque town in the province of Epirus.
It is nested between lush green hills and the clear waters of
the Ionian Sea. A short walk through the steep streets would take
you to the castle that reveals a bird's eye view...
Ambracian
Gulf
The rhythmic murmur of the small fishing boats
is the loudest kind of human manifestation. The estuary around
the Ambracian gulf with its twenty natural lagoons are the refuse
for a wide variety of birds and aquatic animals many of which
adorn with their presence the endangered species list
Arta
The epic poem describes
the legend in lyrical terms- how the masons built the structure
all day long just to find that it collapsed overnight. With this
process repeating itself for a long time to the desperation of
the masons, only divine intervention could save the bridge...
Meteora
The accenting dance towards the sky performed by the rocks was not lost on those
who desired their own accent to the heavens for religious reasons. Monasteries
occupy many of the rocky terraces, most of which were built during the Byzantine
era and have changed little over the centuries.
Peloponnese
We dipped in the coastal waters, breathed the pine aroma high in the
mountains, and soaked up the sun rays on fine island sand. Ten days
felt like an eternity as we sampled a large gamut of the magic Greece
has to offer...
Pelion
Pelion is a pleasant surprise for those who picture Greece as a
barren and harsh landscape, scorched by the sunrays that bounce
off white cubist homes. This is the beauty of the typical, and
wildly successful Cycladic landscape, but Greece is a multidimensional
landmass, and the fauna of Mount Pelion along with its idyllic
coastline presents a complex visual feast that engulfs the senses
with a gentle intensity.
