My last visit to Greece was back in 1999, another time for the country. This time, I'm spending a full 9 days in the country, exploring all the places I have on my wish-list for a while, as well as revisiting some class... Read Full Entry

After all, this is just my fourth continent after having grow up in Europe, lived in Asia for twenty years, and even spent a full year living the life of Buenos Aires.

MY LAST TRIP
I visited Greece last June. I visited several islands. It was the time of great revolution.

How great that you were able to see the Mt. Athos monasteries--they look beautiful! I spent three weeks hiking around and visiting the monasteries at Meteora, but obviously couldn't visit those on this peninsula. I'm shocked that the prices were high in Greece now; I too had thought this a great time for cheap, delicious food and lodgings. When in Thessaloniki, I visited Vergina, about 45 minutes outside the city with royal tombs, including that of Phillip II, the father of Alexander the Great. Fabulous gold and silver treasures and a couple of intact tombs. The kids would love it if you return. Sweet places to walk and have a bite to eat outside too. Hope your Panda makes it to your next destination!
